RE:
Request that the Board waive the three (3) $1,000 for a total of $3,000 campaign finance late fees assessed against Burnell Tolbert, an unsuccessful candidate for Council Member /District 1, Lafourche Parish, in the October 12, 2019 election, whose 30-P, 10-P and 10-G campaign finance disclosure reports were filed 1,035, 1,015 and 980 days late, respectively.
Facts:
Burnell Tolbert requests a waiver and states the following:

He called the BOE to find out what he needed to know about filing the reports because he didn't want to have to pay money he didn't have. He spoke with a very nice lady and was told if he didn't receive or spend over $200 he didn't have to file a report. He called another time just to make sure and was told the same thing.
