Although South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford (R) wants to move on, the Columbia State reports he may still have some explaining to do.

The state attorney general today asked the state Ethics Commission to investigate allegations that Sanford "misused state planes and other potential violations of state ethics laws."

"Sanford's state expenses have come under scrutiny since he vanished for six days in June and announced, upon his return, that he was having an extramarital affair with an Argentine woman."
