WISD millage opponents funded by Ann Arbor real estate company

According to an article in AnnArbor.com, the opponents of the WISD millage proposal are outspending proponents by nearly $30,000. Most of the money has come from McKinley, an Ann Arbor real estate company.

Albert Berriz is the treasurer of Citizens for Responsible Washtenaw, an organization opposing the millage that would raise operational funds for local school districts. He is also CEO and president of McKinley.

Berriz was one of two community members on AnnArbor.com's editorial board, but resigned the position due to his involvement in the school enhancement millage campaign. AnnArbor.com.

AnnArbor.com came out against the millage on October 25, 2009.

The Washtenaw Intermediate School District millage election is on Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009.
