Congratulations Leader-Herald team

The New York State Associated Press has announced the 2007-2008 newspaper writing awards and The Leader-Herald received three well deserved recognitions. First Place - Blogging to our own Bill Ackerbauer author of Bill's Broadsides and Assistant City Editor. First Place - in the editorial category. First place for three editorial written by Managing Editor Tim Fonda. "Gloversville ignores request," "Paper pursues information" and "City should end mayor's buyouts." Third Place - To a sports column by Bill Cain. The column was "Rules allow competitive pretending." You bet, I am very proud.
