BRIAN THORNTON, A MALE STAFF MEMBER AND POLICY ADVISOR TO AUSTIN CITY COUNCIL MEMBER ELLEN TROXCLAIR, LEAVES FOLLOW-UP VOICE MAIL AT 3:31 P.M. MONDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2016, FOR CRIMINAL-LAW COMPLAINANT AND SELF-IDENTIFIED CONTINUOUS-AND-CONTINUING-DAILY-AND-YEAR-ROUND-ANAL-RAPE-CRIMES-AND-PERSONAL-INJURY-CRIMES VICTIM JOHN KEVIN McMILLAN OF AUSTIN, TEXAS: 'I'M DOING RESEARCH ON WHY YOU (JOHN McMILLAN) ARE GETTING ROADBLOCKED'

(EXPLANATORY NOTE: The following exact verbatim voice mail message was left for John Kevin McMillan of Austin at 3:31 p.m. Monday, October 24, 2016, by Brian Thornton, policy advisor and apparently very diligent male staff member to Austin City Council Member Ellen Troxclair at City Hall in downtown Austin. All of the "uh"s and "um"s, etc., that were verbalized in this recorded voice mail message were left unedited, since the recipient of this voice mail, John Kevin McMillan of Austin, concluded after listening to the voice mail message that the "uh"s and "um"s and some verbalized repetitions of words, along with a significant pause that is directly cited below, possibly conveyed the additional message from Mr. Thornton that the cited public policy issue was rather awkward and a very sensitive topic for that City Hall official to publicly refer to.

ADDITIONAL EXPLANATORY NOTE: The "Jeramy" to whom Mr. Thornton refers in the following voice-mail message is "Jeramy D. Kitchen", was recently identified online by the "Texas Tribune" as the Chief of Staff for Republican State Representative Dustin Burrows of Lubbock, Texas. Rep. Burrows is a very influential member of the Texas House of Representatives County Affairs Committee in Austin. The last name of the cited "Jeramy" was previously volunteered by Mr. Thornton in an October 21, 2016, voice-mail message for Mr. McMillan that also referred to State Rep. Dustin Burrows and the latter's role with the House County Affairs Committee. According to online records compiled by the "Texas Tribune", a gentleman named "Brian Thornton" (and possibly the same individual who currently is a staff member for Austin City Council Member Ellen Troxclair) in a recent year served as "Legislative Director" for State Rep. Dustin Burrows. The "Texas Tribune" webpage containing this factual information does not directly state the date for which that job title for the cited "Brian Thornton" was applicable.--- jkm)

"Hi, Mr. McMillan, This is Brian Thornton with Council Member Ellen Troxclair's office, returning your call.

"I was just calling to follow up and let you know that the reason I think that the County Affairs Committee of the Le-- State Legislature may be relevant to you, is because, uh, Austin's DNA testing lab, uh, was recently shut down due to non-compliance with state law. And much of the---much, if not all, I would have to double-check---but I believe most of the rape kits are being transferred to, um, DPS, which, which is run on a, which is administrated on a county (sic) level, as opposed to a municipal or city level.

"So the County Affairs Committee would, would, likely be, you know, the first stop for any bill that would--any upcoming session, which begins in, uh, January---uh, any bill that would have to do with, uh, increased funding, which I know they increased funding in 2011 to, um, catch up on backlog, uh, for DPS.

"So increased funding, any, any sorts of regulations, uh, to do with those, how they're administrated, when they're administrated, those types of things. Um, those are just kinda some of the ideas that, uh, came to mind. But, uh, you may just talk with Jeramy. He, he may have have ideas that don't come to me right off-hand. So um, anyway, those, that's kind of where, um, where I was heading with that. I'm still in the process of just kind of doing a little research on, on your case and seeing where the, uh, where the deficiencies may be, if any, um, you know, on why you are getting (pause) ROADBLOCKED, if you will. So I'm, I'm, I'm still doing a little homework on that, and, uh, hope to get back to you, soon."
