Permission to explain my vote.
I'd like to enthusiastically vote aye, but I really want to thank my colleagues for their votes for the street namings in my district, especially for two incredible Staten Islanders, one woman,
both of whom should be saints, one of whom is a household name, and that's Dorothy Day.
A lot of you may have seen her picture on the wall at City Hall.
And we're going to be honoring her on her birthday on November 8th.
And the other is a young man who you might not have heard of named John Hudson Dilgen, who should also be a saint, who passed away far too young after dealing his whole life with a debilitating disease called EB.
And through his work and his advocacy, they've really furthered the cause of EB research significantly.
And he's been a model Staten Islander.
And I thank you all for your support for those street namings in my district.
With that, I'll vote aye.
Thank you.
