A script that fetches, parses and archives the XML data dumps of lobbyist's political contributions published by The Senate Office of Public Records. Zips files containing the XML are: 1. Downloaded and unzipped. 2. Parsed out into flat text files and stored in a timestamped folder structure. 3. Imported to a SQLite database. The ultimate goal is for a series of SQL statements to scrub and cut the data to account for flaws in the reporting system first uncovered by Bill Allison and Anupama Narayanswamy of The Sunlight Foundation.
