RE:
Request that the Board waive the $120 campaign finance late fee assessed Jason Zuckerman, a successful candidate for Council Member at Large, City of Mandeville, St. Tammany Parish, in the March 23, 2024 election, whose 2025 Supplemental campaign finance disclosure report was filed 5 days late.
Facts:
Jason Zuckerman requests a waiver and states the following: This was his first time filing electronically through the LEADERS system, and he had issues accessing it. He did not realize that he needed to obtain a username and password from a BOE representative. At that time, he was living in Lake Charles and traveling daily to Cameron for the week. Mr. Zuckerman is not making an excuse for this mishap, but simply explaining the circumstances surrounding the late filing. This is his first time filing untimely.
