All nine of Maine’s casino inspectors have signed a letter of no confidence in Milton Champion, executive director of Maine’s Gambling Control Unit.

Champion oversees gambling in Maine, but the inspectors said he is not fulfilling the duties of his role, saying he has tried to deregulate casinos and created a toxic work environment.

In the no confidence letter, Maine’s casino inspectors said Champion has retaliated against some inspectors, violated their contractual rights, and refused to pay them correctly for services rendered.

“They’ve completely stopped contacting us, communicating with us, and the next step in line is the vote of no confidence,” Casino Inspector Gayle Craig said.
