Request that the Board waive the $800 campaign finance late fee assessed against Tracey Flemings-Davillier, a candidate for Judge, Orleans Criminal District Court, Sec. B, in the November 6, 2012 election, whose EDE-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 8 days late. |
|
In connection with her request for a waiver of the $800 late fee assessed for the late filing of an EDE-P campaign finance report, Tracey Flemings-Davillier, states that she had no expenditures on election day. She further states that she did log into the leaders software to file the EDE-P report, but after going through Schedule A, Schedule B, and Schedule C in the leaders software, there were no recipients or organizations to report and no check boxes to reflect a zero or "none". As such, there was no ability/requirement to file the EDE-P report electronically. Upon receipt of notice from the Campaign Finance division that an EDE-P report was required, the report was promptly filed. Ms. Flemings is a major level candidate. This is her third campaign. She was an unsuccessful candidate.
Campaign Finance records show that the candidate successfully electronically filed an EDE-P report for the February 6, 2010 election. The 104 form was used to e-file the EDE-P report in 2010. There have been no changes to the form.
