| Request that the Board waive a $420 campaign finance late fee assessed against Kevin J. Centanni, a candidate for Justice of the Peace, 6th Justice Court, Jefferson Parish, in the November 3, 2020 election, whose 30-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 7 days late. |
|
Philip Rebowe the report preparer for Kevin J. Centanni, requests a waiver and states the following:
He serves as the candidate's treasurer and he maintains the records and prepares/files his campaign finance reports. He said that he filed the 90-P report for the candidate because he was unopposed. He did not realize that he also was required to file a 30-P, he did not realize the report was only for Major office candidates. He states that even though the incorrect form was used the candidate was unopposed and no activity occurred after the 90-P was filed.
