Congratulations to Ark Valley Voice who have been awarded this year's First Amendment Award by the Colorado Press Association for their work "to ensure the public's right to know."

Their investigative work uncovering previously hidden information about the armed protestor on the streets of Salida is yet another example of the watchdog role that our local press play in democracy. They invite you to read this next piece in this saga.
