Mel Gibson is reportedly planning to spend more than $140,000 to keep a cross on a government seal in Los Angeles.
According to sources close to Icon Films, the Hollywood actor-director will actively take part in a campaign, which was begun a religious group to protest against the removal of the cross on the official Los Angeles county seal.
According to The Herald Sun, Gibson expressed his disappointment over the proposed scrapping of the cross because of legal threats from civil rights groups.
On June 1, LA County supervisors caved in to a demand made by the ACLU, which threatened to sue the county if it did not remove the cross. As a result, the county decided to remove the cross.
