RE:
Request that the Board waive the $400 campaign finance late fee assessed against Traci Ackerman Fletcher, a candidate for St. Charles Parish Council, in the October 22, 2011 election, whose EDE-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 190 days late.
Facts:
In connection with her request for a waiver of the $400 late fee assessed for the late filing of an EDE-P campaign finance report, Traci Ackerman Fletcher, states that her report was untimely filed, due to a misunderstanding. Ms. Fletcher states that she did not have any election day expenses, therefore, she did not believe a report was necessary. Ms. Fletcher is an any other level candidate. This is her first campaign. She was a successful candidate.
