RE:
Request that the Board waive the $200 campaign finance late fee assessed against Charles Lee Hinton, a candidate for City of Central Council, in the March 27, 2010 election, whose Supplemental campaign finance disclosure report was filed 5 days late.
Facts:
In connection with her request for a waiver of the $200 late fee assessed for the late filing of a Supplemental campaign finance report, Elaine D. Hinton, on behalf of the candidate, states that the candidate did not receive a packet notifying him that a report was due. As soon as notice was received, a report was immediately filed. Ms. Hinton believes that the post office lost their notification packet and asks that the Board waive the late fee. Mr. Hinton is an any other level candidate. This is his second campaign. He was an unsuccessful candidate.
