PSAs or political ads?

By Josh Sweigart | Monday, November 17, 2008, 10:52 AM

Liberty Twp.-based Murray Multimedia Resources, LLC produced those cable political ads that helped Butler County Auditor Roger Reynolds tout his short record of reform and win election this month.

But it appears that’s not all they do. Right next to Reynolds’ political ads on YouTube are two public service announcements apparently produced by Murray for Butler County Prosecutor Robin Piper and Treasurer Nancy Nix. While Reynolds’ video was political, thus paid for out of his campaign coffers, the PSAs are paid for with county funds.

Both Nix and Piper were re-elected this year, and neither had anyone run against them.

Here is Piper’s ad about the importance of paying child support:

Here is Nix’s ad about help available for people who can’t pay their taxes:

These ads were produced before the election, but by officeholders who were guaranteed to win. Are they indeed PSAs? Or do these look like political ads to you?
