‘Would like to wrap up and go home’

By the time the Idaho Senate adjourned for the day at 7 tonight, it had passed more than 60 bills and resolutions since convening this morning. Senators first went on the floor at 10 a.m. “I still had more work I could suspend on and keep going,” said Senate Majority Leader Bart Davis, R-Idaho Falls. But, he said, “People become exhausted, and I want them to read and understand the legislation, and I want them to feel free to debate and ask questions. I’m still pushing for possible adjournment tomorrow, but the stars would have to really align more significantly than I currently think they are aligned.”

Davis said what he’s hearing from senators is that “they would like to wrap up the work and go home.”
