Contemplate strategy for duplicate bills #196

Recently, a Chicago bill changed its identifier (i.e., its MatterFile) from "CL 2017-966" to "`CL 2017-966". The scraper interpreted this as a new bill and thus created one with a different OCD ID, despite all other elements remaining constant.

Do we want to consider adding a mechanism to clean unusual characters from the identifier?

FWIW, this seems to be in play here as well: datamade/nyc-council-councilmatic#87

Leaving these links here for posterity, though they may, in fact, be more related to opencivicdata/pupa#295
