Mayor Becky Miller is again under fire for riding in Dallas’ gay Pride parade in 2006.

Miller’s appearance in the Alan Ross Texas Freedom Parade led to a petition signed by 75 residents that was submitted to the City Council last year. The petition, which demanded that city officials refrain from such appearances in the future, was never acted on by the council.

Now, Miller’s only challenger in the May 10 election, former City Councilman Ron Branson, has resurrected the issue on his campaign Web site.

“I guess I could participate in a controversial parade, but I would never plaster ‘Carrollton Mayor’ on the side of my vehicle,” Branson’s Web site, www.runwithron.com, states under the section titled, “Why Run For Mayor?”

know that she has no intention of being their mayor, too.
