Good morning, Acadiana, and thank you for reading us today. We have the business news headlines for you ahead of what could be a stormy Tuesday. You should start with the report from Vice President Kamala Harris' visit to Sunset on Monday, where she addressed the $29 million going to rural broadband efforts.
