Mainstreet Radio's Cara Hetland presents a profile of Bill Janklow's political career. He's been South Dakota’s attorney general, governor and now the state's sole U.S. representative. To some he's a hero: a champion for the underdog, and a great leader in the face of fires, floods and tornadoes. But to others he's a bully, who doesn't just beat his opponents, he obliterates them.

Many in South Dakota wonder what's next for the man who's dominated state politics for more than three decades. No matter what the controversy in his political career, he comes out on top - until Janklow faced manslaughter charges as a result of a fatal traffic accident.
