From the Indianapolis Star:
The Johnson County Public Library has spent $22,000 to educate the public about a $30 million referendum to build a new Franklin library.
The library's "Just The Facts" campaign is funded by the library system's budget paid for by taxpayers.
The library spent more than $15,000 on advertising, more than $7,000 of which went to The Daily Journal newspaper, according to a budget provided by director Beverly Martin.
Another $6,750 was paid to J Owen Media, run by former Daily Journal publisher Jeff Owen, for designing materials and developing the marketing campaign.
Vote Yes for Libraries, a public action committee supporting the referendum, raised nearly $2,900 and spent about $950, according to financial disclosure forms.
Citizens Opposed to the Library Project raised about $5,500 and spent about $3,000.
