The Senate has adjourned for the day. “We have done all the work that we can do,” Senate Majority Leader Bart Davis, R-Idaho Falls, told the Senate. The House, he said, has “some legislation that they’re working on,” and the Senate wants to “be respectful of their time and their efforts. We hope that by tomorrow morning … (we can) receive some legislation we can act on.” The Senate then adjourned until 8:30 a.m. tomorrow, and Senate Republicans headed into what they said will be a “brief” closed-door caucus.

Now that we have a $3,000,000 legislative session, do you suppose we could get at least one FULL day’s work out of them? Perhaps it’s too much to expect, but I think our “leaders” ought to work the weekend to get the session over.
