| Request that the Board waive a $1,000 campaign finance late fee assessed against Manny "Chevrolet" Bruno, an unsuccessful candidate for Mayor, City of New Orleans, Orleans Parish, in the October 14, 2017 election, whose 30-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 12 days late. |
|
Manny "Chevrolet" Bruno requests a waiver and states the following:
He received a correspondence that the incorrect year was listed on the cover page of his PFD report and the disclosure will only be accepted as the report covering calendar year 2020 and no further action was required. The letter stated if he had any questions to call the Disclosure Division. So, he did. only because he wanted to be sure that "NO FURTHER ACTION WAS REQUIRED." Then to his shock, he was told about the Late Fee Assessment and transferred to someone who told him that they sent him a letter about the late fee back in October 2017, but the letter came back as return to sender. He was confident that he had done everything right as far as filing all forms needed for the 2017 election. Since over four years has passed, feels he deserves a waiver in this instance.
