Dawn Gibbons says divorce settlement in jeopardy
RENO - First lady Dawn Gibbons is accusing Gov. Jim Gibbons of jeopardizing their divorce settlement by lying on his application to refinance their Reno home and taking it off the market.
Her lawyer, Cal Dunlap, says the governor could be guilty of fraud because he suggested he intends to live at the Reno home, contrary to the December settlement that calls for the house to be sold when a divorce decree is finalized.
Dunlap says Gibbons also wrongly claimed he is not involved in any pending lawsuits. He's currently a defendant in two.
Gibbons campaign manager Ron Bath says the governor checked the wrong box concerning the lawsuits and will correct that. He says he misunderstood the question regarding his current and future residency.
