RE:
Request that the Board waive the $760 campaign finance late fee assessed against Darrell R. Sinagra, a successful candidate for Councilman, District 1, Tangiphoa Parish in the October 14, 2023 election, whose 30-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 19 days late, respectively.
Facts:
Darrell R. Sinagra requests a waiver and states the following: This was his first time running for public office and filling out a CF report. Neglectfully, he put the packet away and did not read it for a couple of weeks. When he realized his mistake, he filed the 30-P and 10-P immediately. It was an oversight and truly not intentional. Moving forward, he will file timely. Please waive the assessed late fee.
