the kids.
Also, too, | agree with Alderman Lopez. Usually in the fire service we said around whenever you change the clock

And finally, please get out there and vote. It is your right. That's what makes the whole political system tick. So please,
exercise your right and vote next Tuesday. Thank you Madam President.
