The Alabama Ethics Commission announced Wednesday that it had "found probable cause to believe" Bentley violated campaign finance and ethics laws . The panel had received two complaints alleging that the septuagenarian "Luv Guv" -- as he's been dubbed by local media outlets and bloggers -- misused state resources to facilitate his affair. Mason resigned last year, the same year Dianne Bentley, the governor's wife of 50 years, saw her divorce made final. Rep. Ed Henry, a Republican who introduced articles of impeachment last year , called it "one of the few truly bipartisan issues." But with only days to go before the impeachment hearings, Bentley has stood firm.
