Bentley's No Show at Hearing

As Governor Robert Bentley had indicated, he did not attend a hearing in the office of Alabama State Auditor Jim Zeigler yesterday.  Zeigler had issued a summons for the governor to appear before him and answer questions regarding his relationship with a former political aide.  The auditor has cited a state law that gives him the power to compel testimony under oath.  It has not been used by any previous auditor.  With Governor Bentley a no-show, Zeigler says he will proceed to the next step.  WVAS News talked with historian Richard Bailey about the case.  Bailey says any action against Governor Bentley should be taken judiciously.  Bentley last month acknowledged making inappropriate remarks to a senior female political adviser, but has denied having an affair or misusing his office.
