RECOGNIZING THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF DOMINIQUE NOTH, EDITOR, MILWAUKEE LABOR 
                                 PRESS

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. GWEN MOORE

                              of wisconsin

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, September 24, 2010

  Ms. MOORE of Wisconsin. Madam Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to 
Dominique Paul Noth and the Milwaukee Labor Press. The Milwaukee Labor 
Press provides news, features, commentary, and information on important 
issues and events. In late August, editor Dom Noth and the Labor Press 
won the most multiple awards in the history of the International Labor 
Communications Association. The Milwaukee Labor Press has continued its 
legacy of excellence by proving successful in the most intense and 
prestigious North American contest for all labor publications.
  As the second largest home-delivered newspaper in Wisconsin, the 
Labor Press consistently speaks honestly to its readers. The ILCA 
awarded the Labor Press First Place, General Excellence among all state 
and central council publications. ILCA praised the Labor Press for 
``Quirky and interesting writing, [. . .] makes points without being 
preachy.''
  MilwaukeeLabor.org the website of the Labor Press' publisher, 
Milwaukee Area Labor Council, received First Place General Excellence 
Internet. News, Take Action, events, and original content by Dominique 
Noth are featured on the website. Dominique is an intrepid seeker of 
newsworthy information, camera at the ready, quotes in context forming 
in his mind.
  Last December's examination of the health care debate in the article, 
``Heeding the Human Cost,'' was honored with the First Place Saul 
Miller Award. Noth attributes this success to diverse opinions of union 
and community members in a no-holds-barred forum on health legislation. 
Judges cited the story as candid and heartfelt writing which ``debunks 
the opposition's argument attacking the need for health reform.''
  Third Place Award for Special Performance (best editorial or column) 
went to the Labor Press for ``City Should Sink Its Own Breed of Water 
Pirates'' which highlighted the privatization of public services. The 
article shed light on a significant issue for labor unions across the 
country.
  Madam Speaker, I am proud to say the Milwaukee Labor Press provides a 
significant avenue for discussion for the people of the Fourth 
Congressional District. Thanks in no small part to Dominique Noth; the 
Labor Press' continual excellence is based on its open-minded, 
intelligent, and relatable examination of pressing labor issues that 
impact the whole community. I applaud Dominique Noth and the Milwaukee 
Labor Press for their success in such a competitive and prestigious 
contest.
