Waiver request submitted by Winfred Johnston regarding a $2,500 late fee for filing her amended 2010 Tier 2 candidate pfd 81 days late. |
|
Winfred Johnston was a candidate for the Bossier Parish Police Jury, District 4, in the October 22, 2011 election.
Based on the information submitted, it appears Ms. Johnston confused the requirement to file a pfd with the requirements involving filings under the campaign finance disclosure act in connection with receiving contributions and making expenditures.
