Several major politicians ? including Gov. Martin O?Malley, Comptroller Peter Franchot and Mayor Sheila Dixon ? are considering giving back thousands of dollars in campaign contributions after Baltimore County police?s major bust of illegal video gaming machines.

Carroll Bond III, 44, of Cockeysville, president of Carbond Inc., has donated about $40,000 to a wide range of politicians from both parties, including former Gov. Robert Ehrlich, Senate President Thomas Mike Miller, House Speaker Michael Busch and Baltimore County Executive Jim Smith.
