New Hanover County Commissioners spent more than $25,000 pursuing acquisition of Cheetah Gentleman’s club

[WECT] The New Hanover County Commissioners spent over $25,000 in legal fees exploring the eminent domain BEFORE contacting the club owner! At the time, the county said it needed the Cheetah Club property to create more parking spaces for the county’s government center, which is right next to the strip club. When the club owner found out about the move to use eminent domain to acquire the club, the club's attorney had mentioned the club's willingness to share its parking lot with the county.

Large Invasive Lizards, Tegus, Prompt Concern in South Carolina: Report Sightings for Confirmation

[WECT] Wildlife agencies in South Carolina are urging the public to report sightings of the invasive South American tegu lizard.
