In connection with his request for a waiver of the $480 late fee assessed for the late filing of a 10-G campaign finance report, Jason Coleman states that his contracted CPA closed out his campaign account on November 28, 2012. Upon receipt of notice from campaign finance division, he contacted his accountant and his accountant immediately filed the report on November 6, 2012. His accountant had been taking continuing education certification classes, which is why the report was untimely filed.
