| Request that the Board waive the $540 campaign finance late fee assessed against Sheldon "Mr. Vince" Vincent, Sr., a candidate for Jefferson Parish Councilman, District 1, in the October 12, 2019 election election, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 9 days late. |
|
Sheldon Vincent, Sr. requests a waiver and states the following:
The Sunday after qualifying he had to take his wife to the emergency room because she had a severe headache. Afterwards, x-rays revealed a blood vessel bleeding from her brain. She spent most of the following week in the hospital trying to get her blood pressure under control. In addition, his wife had an operation scheduled for the end of September 2019 which included two additional emergency room visits, weeks of home health care, medical appointments and a long recovery period. He did not make any expenditures other than what was reported in the report due October 12, 2019. He did not file a 10-General Report because to him the rules seem to state that since he lost in the primary, no report was required.
