Maine’s chief gambling regulator returned to work Monday after serving a weeklong suspension without pay. The penalty was for tweeting out a sexist slur and a dubious comment about a white nationalist march.

Milton Champion’s social media antics were found to have “reflected negatively on the reputation of the state’s Gambling Control Unit (GCU),” following an investigation by the Maine Bureau of Human Resources.

The 66-year-old, who is the chief executive of the GCU, has also been ordered to undergo workplace harassment and social media training.

On May 6, Champion replied to an opinion in his Twitter feed that it was inappropriate to refer to a group of women as “ladies.”

“In this day and age, I guess ‘bitches’ is better,” he suggested to his 61 followers.
