RE:
Request that the Board waive the $720 campaign finance late fee assessed against Shelley G. Hebert, a candidate for Iberia City Council, in the November 6, 2012 election, whose 40-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 18 days late.
Facts:
In connection with her request that the Board waive a $720 late fee assessed for the late filing of the 40-G report, Shelley Hebert states that she did not realize that a report was due on January 17, 2013 until she received her notice of delinquency letter from the Board. She asks that the Board forgive her for her error and lateness. She states that the error was truly unintentional. This is Ms. Hebert first campaign. She was an any other level candidate.
