| Request that the Board waive the $1,000 campaign finance late fee assessed against Gerald Allen, a successful candidate for Chief of Police, Town of Blanchard, Caddo Parish, in the November 8, 2022 election, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 28 days late. |
|
Gerald B. Allen Jr. requests a waiver and states the following:
He was running against another opponent, who withdrew from the race one and a half months prior to the election. When he submitted the report he had a zero balance, which was placed on the final form. Previously, he hadn't run for elections and during this time he was working four jobs to provide for his family. He acknowledges that he filed the report late and is asking for leniency since he has already paid the $880 assessed late fee.
