Thank you, Madam President. I wanted to salute my colleagues for the work done NTI over the past several weeks. And in particular, I wanted to commend both Councilman Nutter and Councilman Clarke for working it out around the Health and Safety Grant Fund. Many of us in this community, Shelly Yanoff and others are thrilled that this now becomes real in the City of Philadelphia for our kids. We've worked hard, and and staff to join us to play a little bit at McCormick and Smith's at the end of the day. Thank you very much.
