$2,500 to promote the annual Fresno Reel Pride International
FRESNO, Calif. (AP) - Fresno City Council Member Jerry Duncan is objecting to a decision by the city's Human Relations Commission to spend $2,500 to promote the annual Fresno Reel Pride International Gay & Lesbian Film Festival.

Duncan has asked Mayor Alan Autry to prevent the money from going to the festival.

"I just don't think it's proper that city taxpayer dollars be used to sponsor a private event like that," Duncan said.
