RE:
Request that the Board waive the $738 campaign finance late fee assessed against Jonathan K. Greene, a candidate for Alderman for the Town of White Castle, in the October 2, 2010 election, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 459 days late.
Facts:
In connection with his request for a waiver of the $738 late fee assessed for the late filing of a 10-G campaign finance report, Jonathan K. Greene, states that as a recent college graduate, he has an enormous amount of student loan debt, and events of deaths in his family, including two uncles and a grandmother caused the delay in the timely filing of his report. He states that he accepts full responsibility for the late filing of his report, and would like a reduction based upon bereavement and financial hardship. Mr. Greene further states that if a reduction is set, he would like to set up monthly payment arrangements. Mr. Greene is an any other level candidate. This is his second campaign. He was a successful candidate.
