Thank you. Thank you, Madam Clerk. Tonight we are very pleased to have with us for our invocation Lucia Gilchrist, who Lucia is director of the Shambhala Center of Lexington, and Lucia is going to share with us some about the Shambhala Center before her invocation. Thank you so much. Good evening. Lucia, you might pull that. There you go. Yes, ma'am. Is that good? Thank you so much. Can you hear me now? We can. Thank you, Mary Gray and members of the Council for the opportunity to offer the invocation this evening. I'd also like to thank Hillary Angelusi for her kind assistance in helping me to prepare for this evening. I'd like to make a brief statement about Shambhala for those of you who are not familiar with our center. Shambhala is an international organization of centers where people gather to engage in community activities, to practice, and to study. Our local organization, our local center, was established in 1976, and we have been at our current location on Maxwell Street since 1995. Shambhala has its roots in Tibetan Buddhism and two of our primary teachings are that each of us at our core is inherently wise and compassionate and brave and that when we come together as groups of people we can call upon these inherent qualities which we call our basic goodness to create enlightened societies. The way we reconnect to our basic heart of human goodness and strengthen it so that it becomes more available to us as we go about our everyday lives is through the practice of mindfulness meditation, which is our core practice and the foundation of all of our practices. And now the invocation. Each of us has come to this place at this time because we care about our community. We want to live in a place where we and our fellow citizens can lead our lives in peace and contentment and where we are able to provide for ourselves and for those for whom we care. May we have the courage to open our hearts and minds to the dignity and goodness of each person who has come this evening to express concern for this community. May we feel compassion for those whose circumstances leave them vulnerable and fearful of their futures. may each of us recognize and move beyond any fear we may hold about our changing world so that the wisdom of all we have to offer this evening can come forward and as we consider the issues and concerns that need to be addressed may we not forget and appreciate all the goodness our community offers Thank you to our community leaders and to all who have come this evening with the intention of enriching this place in which we live. Thank you and good evening. Lucia, thank you very much and also your friends from the Shambhala Center. I'm improving my pronunciation. And we appreciate the significance and relevance of your message. Thank you. All right. Tonight we have some awards for the local recycle bowl competition, the school awards. And our very own Steve Fease is here once again this year. Steve will be presenting the awards, and I'll head down to give a little assistance, just to hand stuff out and direct. All right? You guide me every step of the way, Steve. Thank you. Okay. Good evening. Students from 22 Fayette County schools competed in this year's recyclable competition.

Jay, we appreciate so much everything that you've done, leadership in so many areas. that, as we all know, will benefit this community for a very long time. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you, sir. May I say something real quick here? You bet. When you look around the room and around this horseshoe, one of the things that I would also, I guess, challenge each one of us that sit in these seats and those who will come and sit in these seats to realize is that you can do more good for Lexington in one day's time in these roles than most citizens will have a chance to do in a lifetime. And you don't want to waste a single day because at the end of it all, it is a temp job. And you only have a brief period of time up here. And after that, someone else takes your place and the city moves on. So, again, I would challenge you to work on the things that have your heart and work on those things that matter most to you and to this community. So, again, thank you for everyone that I've served with, present company as well as past, and you will be missed. Thank you. Thank you, Council Member McCoy.

But at this time of year, I always try to have a little something for those who are departing. Now, Tuesday, they're going to be here Tuesday. Well, but tonight is when everyone is out other than Doug Martin, who is AOL. This will not take long. But to each, five healthway miles, four spewing sewers, three terms complete, two browned-out stations, and a pension gap yet to meet. Oh, Lordy. Wow. Wow. Seven more days. Wow, wow. Impressive, Council Member Farmer. Thank you, sir. All right. Mr. McCarthy. How are you going to find? Yeah, not that one. Okay. First of all, to those of you who won't be returning in January, I will miss each of you. And I have a few suggestions that I would like your help in passing on to higher levels of government. First off, with the prospect of more and more electric-powered vehicles using our roads, but not burning a fuel that is currently subject to fuel tax, I think the best way to handle that is to require nationwide all fully electric vehicles and all pluggable hybrids to be made with built-in electric meters. then all 50 states and our federal government should then charge tax on the electricity put into recharging them from external sources based on how much gasoline it's the energy equivalent of. Also, much fuss has been made over sales tax on sales through the Internet. Yet, I think we need nationwide a change in the laws of all states that have sales tax, including our own, to say that from now on, if a sale crosses a state line, instead of the tax being due to the buyer's home state, the tax should be due to the seller's home state. That way, consistent with a past Supreme Court ruling, each merchant would only be collecting tax for the state in which they are physically located, but they would be collecting it on every transaction regardless of what state the customer lives in. Now, regardless of how much of an increase or decrease there is in the amount technically owed to each state, every state that has a sales tax would probably wind up collecting more than they currently do. And finally, if we're going to have a changeover from coal-powered electric plants to more solar and wind power, we need an all-out effort to make sure that the jobs that get created go to the areas from which existing jobs will be lost. In other words, get the factories that are going to make solar batteries and the factories that are going to make windmill parts to be located in the areas where coal is currently being mined. And it would be a good idea to build such factories on land that's been recently strip-mined, for instance. That's a good way to reuse the land and to make sure that whoever loses the coal mining job gets a job in one of the new factories to make the solar batteries and windmill parts. And regardless of where you actually install a solar battery or where you install a windmill, presumably you put the solar batteries where the sun shines most and the windmills where the wind blows the steadiest, factories to make them still have to be somewhere. And I'd rather they be put where the coal is now. Thank you, Bernard. Thank you, Mr. McCarthy. Is there a motion to adjourn? Second. Motion by Council Member McCord. Second by Council Member McCord. Is there any objection? Here. Unless there is objection, we are adjourned. Bye.
