| Request that the Board waive the $400.00 campaign finance late fee assessed against Courtney Broussard-Fitch, an unsuccessful candidate for Councilman, District 12, Iberia Parish, in the October 14, 2023 election, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 10 days late. |
|
Courtney Broussard-Finch requests a waiver and states the following: She is a 1st-time candidate for Iberia Parish Councilman District 12 and did not have the financial means to hire an experienced campaign manager. She was uneducated about the responsibilities of filing a 10-G report despite not moving forward to the general election and being listed as a candidate on the ballot. There wasn't a surplus of remaining funds to cover the late fee, so this fine would cause a financial burden.
