RE:
Request that the Board waive the $280 campaign finance late fee assessed against Ron Webb, a candidate for Shreveport City Council, in the October 2, 2010 election, whose Supplemental campaign finance disclosure report was filed 7 days late.
Facts:
In connection with his request for a waiver of the $280 late fee assessed for the late filing of a Supplemental campaign finance report, Ron Webb states that he mailed his original report to the proper address on February 14, 2012. However, it was not received by the Campaign Finance division. It was not until he received notice, when he found out that the report had not been filed. At that time, he immediately faxed a copy of his report. Mr. Webb is an any other level candidate. This is his fifth campaign. He was an unsuccessful candidate.
