STEUBENVILLE, Ohio (AP) -

 There are new developments in the Steubenville logo controversy as an activist group now warns the city to back off in the fight over whether religious symbols should be taken off its logo.
 
The Freedom From Religion Foundation on Thursday cautioned the city of Steubenville not to risk taxpayers' money by opposing the effort by the group .

The Madison, Wis.-based group has threatened to sue if it doesn't happen.

Earlier this week, city officials  didn't take any action at a council meeting  to remove the symbols on the logo.

The city's logo features the cross and silhouette of the Christ the King Chapel on the Franciscan University of Steubenville campus.
