| Request the Board reconsider its decision to decline to waive the $3,000 campaign finance late fee assessed against Jay for LA PAC, a political action committee and its committee's chairperson, W. Jay Luneau, in the October 14, 2023 election, whose 30-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 15 days late. |
|
Original request from Steven McKay, report preparer for Jay for LA PAC, stated the following: He is responsible for preparing Senator Luneau's campaign reports but was unaware of the filing requirements and timelines. Mr. McKay takes full responsibility for the report being filed late. He has been dealing with his father's ailing health, who unfortunately passed away on 12/15/2023 and has been struggling to balance work, life, and family demands. He appreciates your understanding and is requesting that the assessed late fee be waived.
Reconsideration request presents no new information.
