RE:
Request that the Board waive the $2,500 campaign finance late fee assessed against Jean Paul "J.P." Morrell, a candidate for Council Member at Large, Orleans Parish, and his chairperson, Alex Glaser, for future election, whose 2022 Annual campaign finance disclosure report was filed 73 days late.
Facts:
Alesia M. Ardoin, on behalf of Jean Paul "J.P." Morrell, requests a waiver and states the following: They were informed by staff that they could allocate their contribution overages to the future election. A report was filed indicating those changes. Because the allocation happened this year, the report would not be due until 2024. Therefore, they would like to request that the late fee be rescinded, waived, or reduced.
