Nevada's first lady says husband has a girlfriend

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) - The estranged wife of Nevada's
governor is challenging her husband's bid to keep their
divorce trial private and claims he is involved with
another woman.

Attorney Cal Dunlap, representing first lady Dawn Gibbons,
said in a motion filed Wednesday that the law cited in
sealing the divorce files violates both the U.S.
Constitution and the Nevada Constitution.

Dunlap also said Gov. Jim Gibbons wants to end his marriage
of nearly 22 years because of “his infatuation and
involvement” with someone else. He added Jim Gibbons'
“fawning involvement” with the other woman has included
making her “his frequent bar, lunch, dinner and even
grocery store companion.”

“This case is the poster child of why trials must be public,”
Dunlap said, adding that under the state law used to seal
the case Dawn Gibbons “has no voice to object to this
covert judicial action, nor can she make public the conduct
of elected officials.”
