Here’s a link to my full story at spokesman.com on today’s developments, as lawmakers in the House and Senate clashed over the budget and transportation funding. In this photo, from the Senate Transportation Committee meeting, Sens. Chuck Winder, R-Boise, Tim Corder, R-Mountain Home, and Shawn Keough, R-Sandpoint, participate in the Tuesday afternoon committee meeting. Later, members of House GOP leadership expressed doubt that any amended transportation proposals will pass the House, and House Majority Leader Mike Moyle called the budget bill the Senate passed on a 34-1 vote a “slap in the face” to the governor. Meanwhile, House Minority Leader John Rusche said most members of his caucus support the Senate budget bill.
