Where's your governor? A state-by-state glance
By The Associated Press AP - Sunday, June 28
After Gov. Mark Sanford disappeared on a seven-day trip to see a woman in Argentina with whom he was having an affair, Associated Press reporters in 40 states contacted their governors' offices to ask: What's the governor doing right now? The AP also asked for a copy of each governor's complete schedule for the day, not just public events.

Here's a glance at each state's response:
___
ALABAMA: Gov. Bob Riley's spokesman said he was landing in Seattle after an overseas economic development trip. He also released the governor's Friday schedule, mostly blocked out so he could rest from the trip.
ALASKA: Gov. Sarah Palin was in Kosovo visiting U.S. troops. Her spokeswoman released the location only after consulting the Department of Defense. Palin's office requires an open records request to release her calendar.
ARIZONA: Gov. Jan Brewer was at her office in the state Capitol. Her office would not release her full schedule.
ARKANSAS: Gov. Mike Beebe was at the dentist. His office denied a request for the governor's calendar, saying it's considered a "working paper" exempt from open records laws.

CONNECTICUT: Gov. M. Jodi Rell was in her Capitol office, watching a Senate budget debate on TV. Her schedule was released, with no private appointments listed.
COLORADO: Gov. Bill Ritter was in the Capitol for a press conference on his plans to cut the state budget. His office released a redacted version of his calendar.
DELAWARE: Gov. Jack Markell was in his Dover office. His office rejected a written request for his official calendar, saying it wasn't subject to open records laws.
FLORIDA: Gov. Charlie Crist was leaving a bill-signing ceremony in Oldsmar, Fla. His office released a line-by-line schedule for his day in the Tampa Bay area.
GEORGIA: Gov. Sonny Perdue had been in his office earlier, but spokesman Bert Brantley was unsure where he was when an AP reporter called. Brantley declined to call the governor to find out. Perdue's office later released his calendar.
ILLINOIS: Gov. Pat Quinn was working in his office. His calendar was requested Thursday, and the governor's office said Friday it would not have a response in time for AP's deadline.
INDIANA: Gov. Mitch Daniels was returning from an event in southern Indiana. His office declined to release his detailed calendar, citing privacy and security concerns.
