| Request that the Board waive a $480 campaign finance late fee assessed against Charles Glenn Fallin, a candidate for District Judge, 2nd Judicial District Court, Div. C, Bienville Parish, in the November 3, 2020 election, whose 30-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 8 days late. |
|
Charles Glenn Fallin requests a waiver and states the following:
He has been a District Judge since 2000, and he was up for reelection and was unopposed. He has filed numerous campaign reports in the past and have only been late on one report which was in 2014. In reviewing the packet which was given to him when he qualified, he found nothing stating that he needed to file any report, except the financial disclosure statement, which he had already filed. When he read the letter it stated that if he had filed a financial disclosure statement in 2020 that he was not required to file another disclosure statement. His secretary called Katelin Morgenstern with the Supreme Court to make sure he was not supposed to file anything else. She informed him that he had filed everything necessary.
