Medina County Library Foes Stymied AgainTwo women who have been waging a protracted campaign to clean up the Medina County (Ohio) District Library's act on several fronts hit another roadblock October 13, when state officials declined to pursue their accusations that the library illegally funneled Friends' booksale proceeds into a library political action committee. Although Ohio's Chief Deputy Auditor Daniel E. Schultz Jr. had previously indicated the need for MCDL and the Friends to clarify their fiscal relationship, neither his office nor Assistant Prosecutor Bill Thorne found any malfeasance in the Friends having donated profits from a library discard booksale to bolster support for an ultimately successful November 1997 library millage--a measure that Michelle Yezerski, founder of Citizens for the Protection of Children, and Debbie Malenock of the Christian Coalition had tried to defeat. "We're looking for some taxpayer restitution," Malenock insisted at the meeting. Thorne replied that there is no restitution for a legal activity, the Akron Beacon Journal reported October 14. |
