I absolutley hate filling campaign finance reports.....
Because for the most part, they do not follow the rules of accounting, not even bookkeepping....

It is very frustrating, at last here in Ohio... Where else...

They just instituted a half year report for people not running. Now Judges are barred by law from collecting contributions. For all intents and purposes, their campaigns are dormant....

But they still have to fill out reports.....

Damn they do stuff to show the public that they are "doing" something about campaign reform and it just makes it harder and serves absolutley no purpose for candidates who aren't constantly in campaign mode.....

3. I'm looking for a treasurer right now
Any advice?

My cousin owns her own business and she used to do tax stuff for H and R Block, plus she fiercely loves me and is trustworthy. She's my first pick. But, you got any type of advice about what to look for?

13. oh lord
it's been awful, today and yesterday not so bad. Monsoons cooled it down to about a frigid 95.

You can just send me the money you were going to send WC. :) I'll take good care of it.

8. reports, ugh
I am the treasurer for two statewide committees. NC has gone to an online reporting system that has to be one of the most convoluted exercises I have ever gone through. They must be taking advise from the IRS.
