Governor Jim Gibbons arrives to address a regents meeting at the College of Southern Nevada, Charleston campus Thursday, March 3, 2010.

Gov. Jim Gibbons has made a watchdog group's list of the top 11 worst governors in the nation.

Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington cite, among other things, allegations against Gibbons of assaulting a Las Vegas cocktail waitress in a parking garage and his use of a state-issued cell phone to send more than 800 text message to a woman he described as a long-time friend.

The Washington, D.C.-based group, in its report released Wednesday, also criticized Gibbons for initially saying he would refuse federal stimulus money to help ease the state's budget shortfall.
