| Request that the Board waive a $540 campaign finance late fee assessed against J. Gregory Vidrine, a candidate for City Judge, City Court, City of Ville Platte, Evangeline Parish, in the November 3, 2020 election, whose 30-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 9 days late. |
|
Gregory Vidrine requests a waiver and states the following:
The late filing was an oversight on his part. He mistakenly believed that no further action was required following the submission of his 2019 Financial Disclosure statement. This was his first unopposed reelection with no contributions and no expenditures and assumed the report was not required. As soon as he received the notice of delinquency he filed the report immediately.
