RE:
Request that the Board waive the $1,000 campaign finance late fees assessed against William Dwight Landreneau, a candidate for Mayor, Town of Washington, St. Landry Parish, in the November 3, 2020 election, whose 30-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 43 days late.
Facts:
Pamela Landreneau and Williams Dwight Landreneau request a waiver and state the following: To her knowledge the report was filed timely on 9/28/2020. She remembered having trouble submitting the report due to a code she had to enter prior to upload. She said the Ethics system accepted the code and the report. She submitted the report as soon as she was informed it was not filed. She requests a waiver on the fact that she states she did submit the report on time and that she has filed all subsequent reports timely.
