RE:
Request that the Board waive the $500.00 campaign finance late fee assessed against Terecita Pollard-Pattan, a successful candidate for Mayor, City of Port Allen, West Baton Rouge Parish, in the November 5, 2024 election, whose 2024 supplemental campaign finance disclosure report has not been filed.
Facts:
Terecita Pollard-Pattan requests a wavier and states the following: She understands the responsibility of filing specific reports on time, but she is still new to everything. Ms. Pattan worked and campaigned alone, without a manager or someone guiding her as to when the documents were due or how to fill them out. Although she can afford to pay the $500 fine, she could use the funds elsewhere.
