SECOND UPDATE: Mujahid Ramadan, a longtime activist who worked for Gov. Bob Miller and Sen. Harry Reid, has applied. As an African-American who has been at the forefront of many issues, he could be a factor. I have attached his application here.

Welcome to The Weekly Report.
This week:
1. An update on the tax battle (or if there will be one), with help from my weekly insiders
2. Predictions from the insiders on a special session (or sessions), pot and issues to watch in the second half
