In connection with her request for a waiver of $2,000 late fee assessed for the late filing of an Annual campaign finance report, Lilynn Cutrer, states that her campaign manager filed her Annual report in advance of the due date of the report. The report was submitted on paper, as done so since 2008 when she first became elected. Ms. Cutrer maintains that she received notice from the Campaign Finance division notifying her of the requirement to electronically file her report. The report was then re-filed electronically. Ms. Cutrer states that there was never any intent to not comply with the reporting requirements, but instead an effort to comply as evidenced by the manual filing of the report in advance of the due date.
