The Hillsborough County Republican Executive Committee has a problem.
On Tuesday, it informed the Federal Elections Commission that it may be late with its required monthly financial filing because its member responsible for submitting reports electronically died suddenly on Saturday of COVID-19.
The late Gregg Prentice developed software that converted the committees QuickBooks data into information usable by the FEC. But Gregg did not share the software and instructions with our officers, the committee explained in its special filing with the FEC.
We will have to enter the August data manually, and according to the information we have received from our FEC analyst, Scott Bennett, we may likely have to re-enter the data from our first 7 months of 2021. We will be struggling to get all of this entered in the proper format by our deadline on September 20, but we will try to do so with our best effort, the filing says.

(21,656 posts)Not that the person necessarily dies but is no longer available (was a contractor, left the company, things like that). When I went to work for Nationwide, I wrote something that allowed them to test rate changes that were effective in the future without running tons of Daily/weekly/monthly jobs to bring the data out to the given effective date. I turned a process that took weeks into one that took hours. For eight years I asked for someone to train so I was not the only one who knew how to do it... And of course they did not. When I left they had to go back to the process that took weeks. That is one example of dozens I can think of over a 30 years career.
