I want to apologize for there not being an edition of The Hudak Report yesterday. On Thursday, when I would’ve worked on the Friday edition, a lot of things happened in my offline life, mostly stuff that was unplanned. It just became too hard to find time to work on The Hudak Report. This edition contains news that would’ve been covered yesterday and news for today.
