In their open caucus, House Democrats asked Minority Leader John Rusche, D-Lewiston, what's up in the fight over transportation funding. Rusche had huddled briefly in his office with House Majority Leader Mike Moyle, R-Star, before each went into his respective party caucus. "I have not been given any indication that they're not still at an impasse," Rusche told the House Democrats. "I have not heard that there has been a change."
