VIDEOS BANNED
IN. SWEETWATER
City voters banned videos and
pinballs in Sweetwater, Florida , in
early May.
By a vote of 510 to 256, videos and
pins were banned , and by 478 to 293,
a ballot issue was defeated that
would have allowed grocery stores
and other established businesses to
have up to five games .
Video ga mes have been banned
14
in Sweetwater since 1981 when city
council members said arcades
created " drug havens" for children.
Before city voters banned pinball ,
the games were against the law in
Sweetwat r. But about a dozen pin-
balls were being operated because
businessmen said their business wa
bad and the pins helped pay their
electricity bills.
