| Request that the Board waive a $540 campaign finance late fee assessed against Raymond S. Steib, Jr., a candidate for District Judge, 24th Judicial District Court, ES 2, Div. A, Jefferson Parish, in the November 3, 2020 election, whose 30-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 9 days late. |
|
Raymond S. Steib, Jr. requests a waiver and states the following:
He wishes to dispute the assessment because he filed the 90-P on 7/26/2020 and marked final report in box 5 since he was unopposed. It was his belief that upon the designation of FINAL REPORT that no additional reports would be due until the year end report. He only became aware that he was delinquent when he received the notice from our office and filed the report on that same day.
