(Maine).- Milton Champion, Head of the Maine Gambling Control Unit (MGCU), has unfortunately managed to register himself in the bad books of Maine casino inspectors.
In a letter, all nine Pine Tree State casino inspectors signed off on a vote of no confidence against Champion as they cited a toxic workplace and concerns about the unit’s capacity to oversee casinos.
Key takeaways
- All nine casino inspectors in Maine have expressed no confidence in Milton Champion.
- The letter cites a toxic workplace, a lack of guidance for casino partners, and concerns over his ability to oversee casinos.
- Champion’s actions have raised concerns about his respect for authority and his willingness to deregulate casinos without public input.
Maine gambling regulators warn of unchecked casino growth
The inspectors said Champion provided little to no guidance for casino partners on compliance with complex gambling laws and regulations. The MGCU’s letter read:
"Despite the significant expansion of gambling within our great state, our current Executive Director Milton Champion has actively demonstrated an eagerness to deregulate casinos in Maine without input from the voting public and with little-to-no guidance to our casino partners on how to conduct business while remaining compliant with gambling rules and statutes.”
Earlier in May 2023, Champion was also issued an unpaid suspension due to a Twitter post he made that was seen as misogynistic and violent. The MGCU Director apologized, and after further investigation into the issue, he was set free to return to the office a few weeks later.
