Request that the Board waive the $480 campaign finance late fee assessed against Thomas "Tom" Sullivan, Jr., a successful candidate for Clerk of Court, Livingston Parish, in the October 24, 2015 election, whose 2017 Supplemental campaign finance disclosure report was filed 8 days late. |
|
Thomas "Tom" Sullivan, Jr requests a waiver and states the following:
He is now retired, but after his election in 1999, he attempted to abide by all local, state and federal rules as they apply to people elected to public office. You will find that in his 20 years of service, he was late twice. The first time was a result of having someone new file his reports, but in this instance the young woman who took over the job was diagnosed with oral cancer and is still undergoing treatment in Houston. He did not mention this for sympathy purposes as he realizes that he was the candidate and the mistake ultimately was his. He simply hopes to appeal to someone's sense of fairness.
