Solons Moving Toward Adjournment
Having all but given up on aiming for final adjournment this week, the Senate on Thursday renewed hopes of quitting town. Earlier in the day, leaders conceded Friday adjournment wasn’t possible and told senators Friday’s floor session would end at noon. But after a brief closed-door caucus by the Republican majority, GOP Leader Bart Davis emerged at 3 p.m. to announce a new goal of a Friday finish. “It might be unrealistic, but we’re gonna try,” said Davis. Davis then announced that the Senate would work until roughly 7 p.m. to debate 30 House bills on the third reading calendar/
