RENO, NV - In addition to battling the budget, the Governor is also battling new allegations of affairs and corruption.

They come from a deposition taken in his divorce case, and the witness was Wendy Mazaros. Mazaros was a friend of Leslie Durant, one of the women most frequently linked to the Governor.

Mazzaros says she and Durant were roommates in the mid 90’s, and that Durant was frequently transporting large sums of cash between Nevadans in southern California and Jim Gibbons locally.

This allegedly happened at the time that Jim Gibbons was out of office, between his first failed run for governor and his election to congress.

KLAS-TV first ran a story about these accusations late last week, including an interview with Wendy Mazaros, who they identified as Wendy Handley, which is one of her previous married names.

Monday, in a conference call with the Nevada News Bureau, the Governor denied the accusations, suggesting they are coming from Brian Sandoval’s campaign or those who want to raise taxes.

Gibbons also denies ever having met Wendy Mazaros.
