Senate adjourns ‘til tomorrow

The Senate passed some budget bills this afternoon, then adjourned until 10 a.m. tomorrow. Before adjournment, Senate Majority Leader Bart Davis, R-Idaho Falls, announced that the Senate will be meeting on Friday morning as well, so that senators know that when they make their weekend travel plans. Also, Senate Finance Chairman Dean Cameron, R-Rupert, announced that JFAC won’t meet tomorrow and probably will meet Monday instead. Senate Minority Leader Kate Kelly, D-Boise, presented a formal protest of this morning’s procedural ruling that blocked Democrats from insisting on a veto override vote; her protest will be spread upon the pages of the Senate journal.
