Request that the Board waive the $1,100 campaign finance late fee assessed against Elizabeth Meyers, a candidate for BESE, in the October 22, 2011 election, whose Special campaign finance disclosure report was filed 11 days late. |
|
In connection with her request for a waiver of the $1,100 late fee assessed for the late filing of a Special campaign finance report, Elizabeth Meyers, states that she is a first time candidate. As such, a large portion of her campaign was financed by she and her husband. She maintains that because she had no campaign manager or staff, she missed the filing deadline. She further states that her tardiness was not due to any attempt to conceal, but rather due to her inexperience and lack of staff. Ms. Meyers is a major level candidate. She was an unsuccessful candidate.
