A group of employees in Maine’s gambling control unit spoke out Friday in support of their executive director following a vote of no confidence by casino inspectors earlier this week.

The casino inspectors called for Milton Champion’s removal after alleging that he has fostered a toxic workplace and undermined casino regulations, particularly with a schedule change that they say has prevented them from working two days per week.

A different group of employees in the Gambling Control Unit wrote in a letter that was sent to members of the media on Friday that they support Champion and felt the need to speak up publicly.
