| Request that the Board waive a $600 campaign finance late fee assessed against Jonathan M. Snyder, an unsuccessful candidate for Councilman, Metro District 11, EBR Parish, in the November 3, 2020 election, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 65 days late. |
|
Jonathan M. Snyder requests a waiver and states the following:
When he became aware the form was required and not filed, he completed it and submitted the form on the same day. The report covered 10/15/2020 through 11/15/2020 and his campaign had minimum financial transactions during this time period. During the 30 day period, his campaign totaled $200.00 in contributions (two contributions) and $8.60 in expenditures (two expenditures). He appreciates the original late fee being reduced to $600, but he asks to please consider reducing the fine to an even lower fee as it will be paid using his personal funds. His campaign took a grassroots approach and was primarily self funded.
