Lieutenant Gov. Kay Ivey is now governor, and newly-appointed Attorney General Steve Marshall has said the investigation of the events that led to Bentley’s resignation is still active. “We’ve had one very important chapter ended, but there remains quite a lot of loose ends to be tied up,” said Bill Stewart, professor emeritus of political science at the University of Alabama. “It’s not over, or it should not be over,” he said. “We need to prosecute those who might be guilty, no matter their position.”
