CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSES AG UTHMEIERS LETTER

Pensacola city leaders say they're caught between political pressure and potential lawsuits over a controversial Christmas drag show. Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier wants the December 23rd performance canceled.... Councilmembers, including attorney Allison Patton analyzed the letter. Patton says city attorneys warn of a significant legal risk in breaking the contract for the drag show -- she suggested the city might reconsider if the Attorney General's office would cover litigation costs. A public forum is scheduled Thursday. The show has sold nearly a thousand tickets.
