GOP leader: Transit logjam could go into January
(AP) — House Republican leader Tom Cross acknowledges it could take until January to work out a gambling expansion plan that would pay for a statewide construction program and pave the way for a mass-transit bailout.

Cross says he'd like something to happen next week but he can't promise anything will. He blames the political climate and personalities involved.

House Speaker Michael Madigan didn't attend a second day of meetings with Gov. Rod Blagojevich and the three other legislative leaders to break a logjam that has transit riders facing threatened service cuts and fare increases.
