| Request that the Board waive the $200 campaign finance late fee assessed against Oscar Dantzler, Jr., an unsuccessful candidate for Governor in the October 12, 2019 election, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 2 days late. |
|
Oscar Dantzler, Jr. requests a waiver and states the following:
He never received a prior letter from this office advising him that he was 2 days late until 6/3/2021, over a year and a half passed. He strongly believes that since the time frame has elapsed he does not have to pay the alleged late fee. He recalls Ethics having problems with their computer/software concerning the electronic filing system when he filed his report.
