Request that the Board waive the $540 campaign finance late fee assessed against Warren L. Montgomery, a candidate for Judge, 22nd JDC, Division C, in the October 4, 2008 election, whose Supplemental campaign finance disclosure report was filed 9 days late.
Facts:
In connection with his request for a waiver of the $540 late fee assessed for the late filing of a Supplemental campaign finance report, Warren L. Montgomery states that his campaign ended in 2008 and there has been no other judicial campaign in the 22nd JDC. Consequently, there has been no activity related to fund-raising.
