How common is it for a governor to face an ethics investigation?

It seems pretty common to me, but I may just have a goofy perspective.

So I ask you, people of GreekChat, what state are you from? Has a governor is your recent state history faced an ethics investigation? What was the allegation and how was it dealt with?

ETA: oddly, I can't find the specific charges, but both the administrations of the current governor of Georgia and his predecessor faced ethics charges. I don't know if the were charges directly involving the actions of the governor and I'm not sure of the specifics. I think with Purdue the charges may have involved a land deal and a tax break, but I'm not sure. With Sonny, it didn't stick, I don't think.

Guy Hunt in Alabama was convicted of criminal charges in 1993. Siegelman was convicted in 2007.
