Request that the Board waive the $420 campaign finance late fee assessed against Michael L. Jackson, a candidate for State Senate, District 14, in the October 22, 2011 election, whose Supplemental campaign finance disclosure report was filed 7 days late. |

In connection with his request for a waiver of the $420 late fee assessed for the late filing of a Supplemental campaign finance report, Michael L. Jackson, states that the accounting firm that usually prepare and file his reports, failed to electronically file his Supplemental report. He further states that he was unaware his report had not been filed, until he received notice from the Campaign Finance division. He maintains that with assistance from the Ethics IT staff, he was able to electronically file his report. Mr. Jackson is district level candidate. This is his fourth campaign. He was an unsuccessful candidate.
