RUMFORD, Maine—Organizers of a referendum campaign to bring a casino to Oxford County are taking their time when it comes naming a new leader.
An Evergreen Mountain Enterprises spokeswoman said when Seth Carey stepped down that another leader would be named quickly, possibly within 48 hours. A week later, there's still no leader.
Spokeswoman Pat LaMarche says "nothing this important should be rushed."
Carey launched the campaign for a western Maine casino and resort, but he resigned after a newspaper reported that he'd been issued a summons for assault. Carey, a lawyer, is also the subject of an ethics complaint under review by the Maine Overseers of the Bar.
