North Augusta Mayor Lark Jones announced a unanimous council vote to reject annexation of a 100-machine video poker casino on West Martintown Road. The opposition crowd and public pressure swayed four council members who had favored annexation earlier, with officials framing the move as a social issue rather than a revenue matter. The city had prepared zoning to isolate such games in a C5 district to keep them from general commercial areas.
