| Request that the Board waive a $1,200 campaign finance late fee assessed against Northwest LA Common Sense Fund, a political action committee, and its committee's chairperson, Ashley Van Earl, whose 2020 Annual campaign finance disclosure reports was filed 6 days late. |
|
Ashley Van Earl, chairperson for the PAC, requests a waiver and states the following:
This waiver request is primarily centered around the ice storm of 2021 which caused their office to be shut down. He also was involved in an auto accident. He evacuated from his home due to a power outage. These events caused the deadline to be missed. This is the PAC's first late filing and he has dissolved the PAC.
