Baton Rouge - Former Mandeville mayor Eddie Price was a no-show for his scheduled appearance before the Louisiana ethics board Friday morning.
Price was supposed to go before the board to appeal his case, but last night his attorneys sent an email to the board’s ethics administrator saying he was not going to appear.
Price has been ordered to file campaign finance disclosure reports in connection with the February 2008 mayoral election. The board ordered that he must file within 30 days of today’s order.
"The order will require him to file the report, it accesses the per day late fee, at a maximum of $1,000. At this point there is an additional penalty of 1,000 that is accessed that would be waived if he files within 30 days of this boards order today," said Kathleen Allen, state ethics administrator.
If price does not comply with this order to file, he could face a judgment to seize assets to cover the late fees.
