Liz Brater, December 1992

Elizabeth S. Brater is Ann Arbor's first female mayor, serving as a Democrat from 1991 to 1993. Prior to 1991, she was a member of Ann Arbor City Council. As both council member and mayor, Liz focused on housing and environmental issues, causes she continued at the state level when serving as a member of the Michigan House of Representatives from 1995 to 2000, and in the Michigan Senate, where she represented the 18th district from 2003 to 2010. Brater talks with us about her time in office, its many challenges, and some of her initiatives and accomplishments, notably her campaign to start the Michigan Recovery Facility (MRF).

Reminiscing About OPA Perhaps: Prentis M. Brown, (left), former chief of the Office of Price Administration and former U. S. Senator from Michigan, and George J. Burke, who served him as chief OPA counsel, probably didn't ignore the OPA entirely in their conversations here Saturday although both resigned from that organization. Brown spend most of the day with Burke.
