| Request that the Board waive a $400.00 campaign finance late fee assessed against NOLA Defenders for Equal Justice LLC, a political action committee, and its committee's chairperson, Kendall P. Green in the October 14, 2023 election, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 2 days late. |
|
Jared Miller, report preparer for NOLA Defenders for Equal Justice LLC PAC, requests a waiver and states the following: The organization filed a 2024 Annual Report and a Statement of Dissolution. On 1/28/2024, the PAC donated the remaining $265.28 bank account balance, so they won't be able to pay the late fee. Although the report was filed two days late, they did not receive a LFO until 2/8/2024. The report was filed untimely due to an oversight of the report preparer. He was overwhelmed with a full-time job and working as a public servant. There was also very little activity during the reportable period, totaling $50 in donations and a $2.96 expenditure. They would like to ask for a waiver of the assessed late fee for the reasons mentioned.
