| Request that the Board waive the $600 and $420 campaign finance late fees assessed against Leroy Daniels, in his capacity as an unsuccessful candidate for City Marshal, City Court, City of Bunkie (Pop. 4,171), in the November 3, 2020 election, whose 30-P and 10-P campaign finance disclosure reports were filed 28 and 7 days late, respectively. |
|
Leroy Daniels requests a waiver and states the following:
This is the first time he ran for a District Level office and he was not aware of the reporting requirements. He assumed he only had to file reports if he received contributions and since he did not receive any contributions of the amounts listed on the forms, he did not understand that he was still required to file. He now has a better understanding of the filing requirements and will file timely in the future. Also, he has financial hardships due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
