RE:
Request that the Board waive a $1,000 campaign finance late fee assessed against Bob Fisher, a candidate for Councilman, District 6, St. Charles Parish, in the October 12, 2019 election, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 35 days late.
Facts:




Bob Fisher requests a waiver and states the following:

He filed this report as the 40th day after general report. He won the election in the primary election and did not think he had to file a 10 day prior to the general (10-G) because of this. He did file the 40 day after general in the allotted time frame. He is asking to have this fine waived.
