Request that the Board waive the $780 campaign finance late fee assessed against O'Neal Bosley, a candidate for Iberville Parish President in the October 22, 2011 election, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 13 days late. |
|
In connection with his request for a waiver of the $780 late fee assessed for the late filing of a 10-G campaign finance report, O'Neal Bosley states that about two months ago he received a letter from the Campaign Finance division, and contacted the Ethics office to inquire about the notice. He explained that he received no contributions and all funds from his campaign were personal funds. Mr. Bosley maintained that he then received a Candidate's form and was asked to complete and return the form. He further states that he was told that was all that needed to be done, since his campaign was self financed and he did not receive any contributions. Mr. Bosley is a district level candidate. This is his eighth campaign. He was an unsuccessful candidate.
