FIRST ON 3: County passes sweepstakes cafe moratorium

WILMINGTON — Tuesday night it was Wilmington City Council. Wednesday morning the New Hanover County Commission followed suit by passing a moratorium on new internet sweepstakes cafes.

The county ban, which passed by a 4-1 vote, will last 60 days. The city’s moratorium is for 90 days.

We’ll have more on the county moratorium tonight on WWAY NewsChannel 3.
