The filing season for FPPC Form 700 (Statement of Economic Interests) has officially begun. Filing deadlines are March 15 for elected officials (87200 filers) and April 15 for everybody else.

To get into the Form 700 mood, we asked OpenAI's ChatGPT system to create rap lyrics about Form 700. Here's what we got. Pretty good, don't you think?

Verse 1:
Filing the Form 700, gotta get it right Disclosing my interests, no need to hide My assets and income, all in plain sight Making sure everything's above board, that's my guide

Chorus:
Form 700, gotta fill it out Gotta show what I'm all about Transparency, that's what it's about Gotta make sure everything's above the doubt

Verse 2:
Gotta list my stocks, gotta show my gains Making sure everything's accounted for, no room for shame My involvement with the company, gotta explain Gotta show I'm doing things right, no need to restrain

Chorus:
Form 700, gotta fill it out Gotta show what I'm all about Transparency, that's what it's about Gotta make sure everything's above the doubt

Outro:
Gotta keep it honest, gotta keep it real Making sure everything is on the level Integrity's key, gotta show what's true Filing the Form 700, that's what I gotta do.
