Quotable Quote — John Rusche

“It's (ultrasound bill) terrible medicine, terrible public policy, and an assault on personal freedom. … And unfortunately, that's what this session is going to be known for” -- Rep. John Rusche, D-Lewiston, a retired physician.

Question: Do you agree with Rep. Rusche that the 2012 Legislature will be known for the battle over the failed mandatory ultrasound bill? Or will it be known for something else?
