The sponsor's argument
Why Pete Harckham says this is needed
Pietro Viviano, born in 1884, was an Italian immigrant, Yonkers resi- dent, and former Lieutenant who died tragically on July 14, 1948, at the age of 63. He was working as a blasting foreman on the new extension of the Saw Mill River Parkway from Chappaqua to Mount Kisco when, according to newspaper reports at the time, lightning struck and detonated the dynamite being used to blast rock. This dedication honors Mr. Viviano's unseen but important role in building the parkway we know today.
This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
