(AP) South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford has closed two chapters of his life, agree- ing to pay $74,000 in fines to resolve ethics charges brought against him after last summer’s rev- elation of an extramarital affair, and re- ceiving word that a judge had formally ended his 20- year marriage to his wife, Jenny. The term-limited Republi- can agreed Thursday to pay the fines to resolve dozens of ethics charges, including a taxpayer-funded rendezvous with his Argentine mistress, marking the end to a months- long saga. Within minutes, the gover- nor’s marriage had been dis- solved by a family court judge in Charleston County, 100 miles from the state capital of Columbia. Scrutiny of Sanford’s travel started over the summer, when the then-married gov- ernor vanished for five days after telling some staff he was going hiking on the Appala- chian Trail.

WHO’S NEWSSC Gov gets fined, divorced

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) South Carolina Gov. Mark

Sanford has closed two chapters of his life, agree-ing to pay $74,000 in fines to resolve ethics charges brought against him after last

summer’s rev-elation of an extramarital affair, and re-ceiving word that a judge had formally ended his 20-year marriage to his wife, Jenny.

The term-limited Republi-can agreed Thursday to pay the fines to resolve dozens of ethics charges, including a taxpayer-funded rendezvous with his Argentine mistress, marking the end to a months-long saga.

Within minutes, the gover-nor’s marriage had been dis-solved by a family court judge in Charleston County, 100 miles from the state capital of Columbia.

Scrutiny of Sanford’s travel started over the summer, when the then-married gov-ernor vanished for five days after telling some staff he was going hiking on the Appala-chian Trail. He was actually in Argentina, and he returned to tearfully confess a yearlong affair with a woman he later told The Associated Press was his soul mate.

But Sanford, who is term-limited and will leave office in January, still could face criminal charges.
