On today's edition of Dakota Midday, host Paul Guggenheimer welcomed Chuck Baldwin, journalist in residence at the Freedom Forum's Al Neuharth Media Center at the University of South Dakota. A proposal that presumes all state records to be open is set to receive a verdict from lawmakers before the legislative session ends in Pierre next week. Then Paul was joined by U.S. Senator Tim Johnson who talked about today's Senate Banking Committee hearing on AIG, the stimulus package and the economy in general. And finally, Northern St. University political science professor Ken Blanchard talked about President Obama's approach to the economy and whether Rush Limbaugh really speaks for Republicans when he says he wants to see Obama fail.
