Director Of Maryland Lottery, Gaming Stepping Down
BALTIMORE (AP) -- The director of Maryland's lottery and gaming agency is cashing in his chips.
Stephen Martino, who heads the state's Lottery and Gaming Control Agency, told staff in an email that he was resigning and his last day would be March 27. He plans on taking a job as a partner in the Baltimore office of law firm Duane Morris.
Martino was appointed to his position by former Gov. Martin O'Malley in 2010. Prior to his appointment, he served as the executive director of the Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission.
In a statement from Gov. Larry Hogan's office, spokeswoman Erin Montgomery said the administration was actively searching for a director who would continue to improve the lottery and gaming programs.
