Rossi linked to troubled commercial bank

Does Dino Rossi have a bank problem?

Millionaire Rossi’s expected entrance into the race against incumbent Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) will likely prompt Democrats to question his relationship to a Bellevue, Wash. bank that has run into problems with federal regulators over low capital ratios and lending practices.
