| Request that the Board waive a $420.00 campaign finance late fee assessed against Thomas "Tom" Kliebert, Jr., a successful candidate for District Judge, 23rd Judicial District Court, ES 2, Div. B, Ascension Parish, in the November 4, 2014, whose 2023 Supplemental campaign finance disclosure report was filed 7 days late. |
|
Angela Bland, on behalf of Thomas Kliebert, requests a waiver and states the following:
They experienced computer and internet issues when the report was due. Once it was discovered that the report had not gone through, it was immediately submitted, and they made sure the submission was successful. They would like to apologize for this unintentional mishap. The committee is spending the surplus funds per the advice and law concerning surplus campaign funds disposal. They only had two expenditure entries and no fundraising activities since 2014. The committee takes the reporting process seriously and apologizes for any inconvenience this may have caused.
