In early February, CPAN nominated Michigan Radio reporter Lester Graham for the State Bar of Michigan Wade H. Mc Cree, Jr. Award for the Advancement of Justice. We submitted his name for his coverage of proposed legislation to change the Personal Injury Protection of Michigan’s mandatory auto no-fault insurance law. Mr. Graham's "Michigan Watch" series dedicated five radio segments between August and November of 2011 to this topic.
CPAN learned yesterday that Lester's work was selected as a WINNER! Below is the email he received about the award. Please join us in congratulating Mr. Graham on this well deserved honor.
