Morning Brief: Janurary 1
Happy 2016! There's a lot that's going to happen this year, but perhaps nothing is more anticipated than the upcoming election. It's already at the forefront of many people's minds. Some may find the prospects dim while others are filled with excitement. But 2016 has a lot more to offer before we decide our new president. Whether it's the amazing new technology we'll be seeing, or the countless movies people have been waiting for, we're definitely in for quite a year. Better get started on those New Year's resolutions.
