Gibbons, first lady fail to reach accord in divorce
RENO — No settlement agreement was reached in Gov. Jim Gibbons’ divorce case today after 5 and a half hours of closed-door talks with a Washoe County judge.
The governor and first lady Dawn Gibbons failed to approve a proposed settlement that would give her a monthly support payment and their Reno home — on the market for $1.1 million — and would give him property they own in Lamoille.
District Judge Frances Doherty scheduled a Dec. 28-31 divorce trial.
Neither Gibbons nor the first lady would comment as they separately left the courtroom.
