RE:
Request that the Board waive two $3,000 campaign finance late fees ($6,000 total) assessed against La State Pelican PAC, LLC, a political action committee, its committee's chairperson and treasurer, Thomas C. Delahaye in the October 14, 2023 Election, whose 10-G and 40-G campaign finance disclosure reports were filed 98 and 48 days late, respectively.
Facts:
Brett N. Brinson, on on behalf of the LA State Pelican PAC, requests a waiver and states the following: Mr. Brinson was promptly contacted after the PAC received the NOD. With the guidance of a BOE representative, the report was amended. To prevent future issues, Faulk and Winkler were given the responsibility for handling all CF reporting and compliance matters on an ongoing basis. Please waive the assessed late fee.
