Appointee To Head Maryland Lottery Nearing Vote After Delays

If the Senate Executive Nominations Committee votes to send Gordon Medenica's appointment to the full Senate, it could trigger a contentious debate due to questions raised about conflicts of interest and his commitment to minority business participation goals.

Some senators have expressed confidence in Medenica's experience in a narrow field where expertise can be hard to find.
