| Request that the Board waive the $600 campaign finance late fees assessed against Alex "Joe" Lacroix, a candidate for City Marshal, City Court, City of Rayne, Acadia Parish, in the November 3, 2020 election, whose 30-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 10 days late. |
|
Cheryl Boudreaux, report preparer for Alex "Joe" Lacroix requests a waiver and states the following:
They were unaware of a previous electronic candidate login because the person previously filing the candidate's reports did not provide them with the information. They submitted an electronic filing affidavit on 10/2/20 and faxed in a report on 10/1/20. They eventually got the login info from the previous report preparer and submitted the report electronically.
