The state-level economic stimulus bill that would plow at least $1 billion into road and highway construction will be the subject of a Southwest Indiana political radio talk show Saturday morning. Republican Gov. Mitch Daniels is listed as one of the scheduled guests.

"The Dave Crooks Show" airs from 9:05 a.m. to 10 a.m. Central time (10:05 a.mm. to 11 a.m. Eastern time) Saturday on WAMW-FM 107.9 and WAMW-AM 1580 in Washington, Ind. It also is simulcast on the Web at http://www.wamwamfam.com.

Dave Crooks, a former state legislator who is the show host, said he has scheduled Daniels as a guest, along with Democratic state Rep. Terri Austin, author of the Indiana House economic stimulus legislation, House Bill 1656. The bill is eligible for a House vote Monday.
