Congratulations to the MV Voice for earning these awards from the California News Publishers Association! I have been, and continue to be, especially impressed with the reporting by Kevin Forestieri; it is wonderful to see his work acknowledged with so many awards. Also, congratulations to you, Kevin, for being named an Assistant Editor at the Voice. Kudos! We are lucky to have such a fine local paper.
