RE:
Appearence in connection with a request that the Board waive the $540 late fee assessed against Yvette Alexander, a candidate for City Court Court, City of Baton Rouge in the November 6, 2012 election, whose 30-P campaign finance report was filed 9 days late.
Facts:
In connection with her request for a waiver of the $540 late fee assessed for the late filing of her 30-P campaign finance report, Yvette Alexander, states that she was unopposed in the November 6, 2012 election. She further states that her affidavit needed to be notarized. She also tried to electronically file the report, but was unable to do so because the LEADERS system would not allow her to do so. Therefore, she faxed her report instead. Ms. Alexander is a district level candidate.
