| Request that the Board waive the $3,000.00 campaign finance late fee assessed against Citizens for Good Taxes, a political action committee, its committee's chairperson, Ashton Broussard, and treasurer, Amber Trahan, in the March 23, 2024 election, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 36 days late. |
|
Ashton Broussard and Amber Trahan are submitting a waiver for Citizens for Good Taxes. This was their first campaign against an unfair parcel fee property tax. Once they were notified of the clerical error, they quickly amended their reports. They believed that filing the 40-G was sufficient because they misread the filing requirements. All other reports were filed in a timely manner.
