Special acknowledgment goes to Sen. Angel L. Bolques Jr., the sponsor of the bill, who demonstrated a clear understanding of its importance and substantial benefits.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe commend all of the senators of the 35th Legislature for their thorough due diligence. Their careful consideration reflects their commitment to the well-being of our community,\u201d said Labor Commissioner Gary Molloy.<\/p>\n<p>Also, Commissioner Molloy, on behalf of VIDOL, expresses sincere gratitude for the cooperation, patience and support received from the landlords and their families throughout the entire process.<\/p>\n<p>This successful acquisition of ownership, transforming the location into a government building, underscores the department\u2019s commitment to a stable future.
