MINOR

The bill was amended to add 'Fire Chief' to Benny Filiaggi's memorial title, clarifying his role and adding 'for' to the resolution header. The committee also updated the biographical text to specify he was hired as a 'full time firefighter' rather than 'paid man' and added a comma before 'aunts' in the family list. These are primarily technical and clarifying changes to better honor the deceased official.
