Request that the Board waive the $100 campaign finance late fee assessed against Sonja Spears, a candidate for Judge, 4th Circuit Court of Appeal, Div. B in the October 5, 2002 election, whose Supplemental campaign finance disclosure report was filed 1 day late. |
|
In connection with his request for a waiver of the $100 late fee assessed for the late filing of a Supplemental campaign finance report, Ike Spears, on behalf of the candidate, states that they were unable to log onto the Campaign Finance website and ultimately learned that the website was not compatible with their Apple computer. Mr. Spears maintains that even after using a PC, they continued to have difficulty navigating the website and needed the assistance of the Ethics IT division to help with filing the report. Ms. Spears is a major level candidate.
