Senators are beginning to filter into the Senate chamber for the scheduled 3 p.m. (Boise time) debate on SB 1184, the school reform bill, and Senate Majority Leader Bart Davis, R-Idaho Falls, has been counting people and urging the gathering of a quorum so business can start, but few are here as yet. This debate is the big one: If the bill passes the Senate, it's likely to also pass the House and become law.
