| Request that the Board waive two (2) $500.00 late fees for a total of $1,000.00 assessed against Jamey Mcintyre, an unsuccessful candidate for Alderman at Large, Town of Many, Sabine Parish, in the March 29, 2025 election, whose 30-P and 10-P reports were filed 75 and 55 days late, respectively. |
|
Jamey Mcintyre requests a waiver and states the following: She is the only one working at home. She pays the rent, car note, insurance, cell phone bills, gas, and electricity bills, all while caring for her 16-year-old daughter. Ms. Mcintyre also helps her brother with household bills. The 10-G report was filed on time, but needed to be amended. This was her first time running for office, and she misread the information. She believed she could file everything at the end of the election. Also, her father passed away on 11/5/2024. Please waive the assessed late fee.
