RE:
Request that the Board waive the $320 campaign finance late fee assessed against Brenda Nevels, a candidate for Mayor of the Village of Tangipahoa in the November 6, 2012 election, whose EDE-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 8 days late.
Facts:
In connection with her request for a waiver of the $320 late fee assessed for the late filing of an EDE-P campaign finance report, Brenda Nevels, states that with winning the election, and teaching school, she forgot to file her report. She maintains that she had no funds and therefore did not open a bank account. She will always be on time going forward. Ms. Nevels is an any other level candidate. This is her first election.
