Request that the Board waive the $3,000 campaign finance late fee assessed against Committee for the Advancement of Louisiana Agriculture, a political action committee, whose 30-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 43 days late. |
|
In connection with his request for a waiver of the $3,000 late fee assessed for the late filing of a 30-P campaign finance report, Jesse S. Barr, Treasurer on behalf of the committee, states that the report was filed untimely due to a misinterpretation of the reporting schedule. He maintains that the report was filed as soon as the error was realized.
