| Request that the Board waive (two) $1,000 and $1,000 campaign finance late fees totaling $2,000 assessed against Julee Godeaux LaFleur, a successful candidate for Justice of the Peace, Justice of the Peace District 4, Beauregard Parish, in the November 3, 2020 election, whose 10-G and 40-G campaign finance disclosure reports were filed 118 and 93 days late, respectively. |
|
Julee Godeaux LaFleur requests a waiver and states the following:
When she received the delinquency notice she realized that she filled out the incorrect form. Since determining her mistake she has completed the correct paperwork and submitted it. She feels the fine is not commensurate with the income for the position. She didn't take the position for the money, it only pays $225 a month. She took it to better her community. She would very much appreciate a pardon of her mistake and a waiver of the fee.
