Subject: Fw: [CAUTION EXTERNAL] Fw: 3-14-21 two questions for local public-health officials re: continuous-noise pollution abatement

March 22, 2021

Dear City of Austin Public Health Department Director Stephanie Hayden-Howard in this state-capital city for Texas,

I am looking forward to receiving from you in the near future what promises to be your first-ever reply letter to me.

In the meantime, I am sharing with you a polite follow-up reply letter (below) I received today from Travis County Health and Human Services Department County Executive Sherri Fleming in regard to a very alarming societal problem I had cited to Ms. Fleming in writing: medically-injurious continuous-and-continuing noise pollution in Travis County, Texas.

Ms. Hayden-Howard, in your numerous appearances before Austin City Council at Council meetings in the four-year period ever since you assumed your current position of leadership as the head of the Austin Public Health Department in May 2017, have you yourself ever at any time spoken to the Austin City Council about the problem of medically injurious and public-safety-endangering continuous noise pollution in Austin, Texas?

During that same four-year period, have you yourself ever contacted the Austin Police Chief or any other APD official in regard to your own concerns about whether injuries to, and accidents involving, cited apparent victims of alleged continuous noise pollution in Austin, Texas, comprised possible crime evidence that an alleged violation of the state penal code or federal penal code had possibly occurred in Austin in some or several or many of those incidents?

I hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely and Best Wishes,
John Kevin McMillan.
My solo-occupancy (myself, only) efficiency-apartment-unit rental-home address ever since June 21, 2019:

Subject: RE: [CAUTION EXTERNAL] Fw: 3-14-21 two questions for local public-health officials re: continuous-noise pollution abatement

Mr. McMillan:

 

In response to your email below, I am not privy to any factual information about the identity of any source or sponsor or financier of any continuous noise pollution in Austin, Texas, that has been and continues to be medically injurious to you or any other residents  also situated in Austin.

 

Further, I do not know the identity of the source or sponsor or financier of the continuous noise pollution in Austin, Texas.

 

In my appearances on behalf of the Travis County Health and Human Services Department at Travis County Commissioners Court meetings over the most recent 16-year period here in Austin, I have not at any time discussed that particular public-health issue with members of the Travis County Commissioners Court.

 

I, personally, have not had any conversations with or sent or received any written communications to or from the new director of the City Government of Austin Public Health Department, Ms. Stephanie Hayden-Howard, that referred to the cited public-policy issue.

 

Finally, I have not had any occasion to directly contact any official of the Austin Police Department, and directly expressed my own concern about alleged continuous noise pollution that has been determined to be medically harmful to you or any other residents also situated in Austin.

 

I have no further information to provide related to your inquiry on the subject of noise pollution.

 

Thank you.

 

Sherri E. Fleming, County Executive

A correction to the following paragraph from the March  16, 2021, reply e-mail letter of mine, below, to Travis County Government Health and Human Services County Executive Sherri Fleming, with the word "new" having been deleted by me at this time:

"Also, have you yourself had any conversations with or sent or received any written communications to or from the director of the City Government of Austin Public Health Department, Ms. Stephanie Hayden-Howard, that referred at least once to the above-cited public-policy issue?"

Director | AustinTexas.gov

 

According to the official website of the City Government of Austin:

"Stephanie Hayden-Howard was appointed Director of Austin Public Health in March 2018. Stephanie Y. Hayden-Howard previously served as Interim Director since May 2017 and prior to that as Deputy Director since October of 2015...."

 

Thank you for your kind patience and understanding about the above editing change and accompanying clarification on the text of my letter below to Ms. Fleming.

 

Best Wishes,

John Kevin McMillan of Austin, Texas.

Dear Travis County Government Health and Human Services Department County Executive Sherri E. Fleming,

 

Thank you for your reply letter (below) to me yesterday afternoon. 

 

Your reply letter has reminded me of your very impressive continuity in your leadership position for Travis County Government here in Austin. According to an online factual account about you I glanced at today, you have been County Executive for the Travis County Health and Human Services Department on a continuous and uninterrupted basis ever since October of 2004.

 

Your reply letter yesterday states that other than the Austin Police Department for noise pollution occurring in Austin, Texas, or the Travis County Sheriff's Office for noise pollution occurring in an unincorporated area  of Travis County, Texas, 

"I (Sherri E. Fleming, County Executive) am unaware of any government agency that can pursue legal actions to help reduce or lawfully terminate continuous noise pollution that has been determined to be significantly harmful to the medical health of one or more Austin residents who are or who is subjected to that continuous noise pollution against their or his or her wishes."

 

Your reply letter to me does not state whether you yourself, through your very powerful position of leadership for Travis County Government, are privy to any factual information about the identity of any source or sponsor or financier of any continuous noise pollution in Austin, Texas, that has been and continues to be medically injurious to myself---and very likely to others also situated in Austin.

 

Ms. Fleming, do you happen to know the identity of the source or sponsor or financier of the continuous noise pollution in Austin, Texas, as described above?

 

In your frequent year-round appearances on behalf of the Travis County Health and Human Services Department at Travis County Commissioners Court meetings over the most recent 16-year period here in Austin, have you as a local public-health official ever at any time discussed that particular public-health issue with members of the Travis County Commissioners Court, whether during an executive session or otherwise?

 

Also, have you yourself had any conversations with or sent or received any written communications to or from the new director of the City Government of Austin Public Health Department, Ms. Stephanie Hayden-Howard, that referred at least once to the above-cited public-policy issue?

 

Finally, have you ever on any occasion directly contacted any official of the Austin Police Department, and directly expressed your own concern about alleged continuous noise pollution that has been determined to be medically harmful to myself and very likely to others also situated in Austin?

 

Thank you again, Ms. Fleming, for your reply letter yesterday. I will look forward to receiving your friendly written response to each of these hopefully-polite follow-up questions that I have respectfully posed to you in this new letter from myself.

 

Sincerely and Best Wishes,

John Kevin McMillan, a gainfully-employed, permanently-alcohol-free, lifelong-tobacco-free and anti-tobacco-minded, single adult Anglo gentleman, American citizen, and a resident of Austin, Texas, on a continuous and uninterrupted basis ever since mid-March 1997.

My solo-occupancy efficiency-apartment-unit rental-home address ever since June 21, 2019: 

Pebble Creek Apartments, 8805 North Plaza Drive, Bldg. 17, Apt. 2418, Austin, TX 78753.

Greetings Mr. McMillan:

 Thank you for your email. Travis County Health and Human Services does not have any factual information related to the possible relationship or possible correlation between either involuntary or voluntary long-term personal exposure to continuous year-round, multi-year noise pollution in Austin, Texas, and permanent damage to that person's medical health.

 

If you have a noise complaint within the City of Austin, you may contact the Austin Police Department. If you have a noise complaint in an area considered outside the limits of any incorporated city within Travis County, you may contact the Travis County Sheriff’s Department. Otherwise, I am unaware of any government agency that can pursue legal actions to help reduce or lawfully terminate continuous noise pollution that has been determined to be significantly harmful to the medical health of one or more Austin residents who are or who is subjected to that continuous noise pollution against their or his or her wishes.

Dear City of Austin Public Health Department Director Stephanie Hayden-Howard and Travis County Health and Human Services Department Director/County Executive Sherri Fleming,

 

I just now this afternoon obtained the correct official e-mail address for Ms. Hayden-Howard ("Stephanie.Howard@austintexas.gov") from a very helpful female Austin 311 staff member named Sonia. 

 

I will look forward to receiving a friendly reply letter from each of you respective high-ranking local public-health department officials in Austin, Texas, on the two public-policy questions (below) that I have directly posed to each of you.

 

Sincerely and Best Wishes,

John Kevin McMillan, a gainfully-employed, permanently-drinking-alcohol-free (ever since 1990), facially-clean-shaven, hygienic, consistently clean-talking (no profanity by me in my everyday conversations with others), lifelong-tattoo-less and anti-tattoos-minded, permanently-jewelry-less and non-effeminate, dependably civil and law-abiding and very honest and conscientious, single Anglo male adult current permanent resident of Austin, Texas, and Travis County, Texas. I have resided in Austin proper on a continuous and uninterrupted basis ever since mid-March 1997. I am a former resident of Quincy, Massachusetts, who has myself resided in Texas on a continuous and uninterrupted basis ever since January 1988.

 

I myself do not have any criminal-conviction record, I am psychologically healthy, and I am not under any "mental health" restrictions of any type. I lead a permanently marijuana-free (ever since 1984) and lifelong-illicit-drug-free in regard to any and all illicit drugs other than marijuana, lifelong-tobacco-free, vigilant and pro-law-enforcement, crime-deterrence-minded, platonicly polite lifestyle.

 

I am a former full-time employee in Austin of the Texas Department of Public Safety state law-enforcement agency, the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles state agency, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice state agency, respectively. I was not fired or dismissed from any of those three respective positions of employment I held with the State Government of Texas.

 

My solo-occupancy (myself, only) efficiency-apartment-unit home address ever since June 21, 2019:

Pebble Creek Apartments (a Belco Equities-affiliated, large gated-community complex), 8805 North Plaza Drive, Bldg. 17, Apt. 2418, Austin, TX 78753.

Home phone: (512) 342-2295.

Subject: Fw: 3-14-21 two questions for local public-health officials re: continuous-noise pollution abatement

 

I just received an e-mail on behalf of Deece Eckstein, the longtime Inter-Governmental Relations Coordinator for Travis County Government. That e-mail referred me to Julie Wheeler and stated that effective December 31, 2020, Mr. Eckstein retired from his position of leadership with Travis County Government.

Thank you for your patience and understanding on this.

Best Wishes,

longstanding criminal-law complainant John Kevin McMillan of northeast Austin.

Subject: 3-14-21 two questions for local public-health officials re: continuous-noise pollution abatement

 

To: Austin Public Heath Department Director Stephanie Hayden-Howard and Austin-based Travis County Government Health and Human Services County Executive Sherri Fleming, respectively.

 

March 14, 2021

 

Dear Ms. Hayden-Howard and Ms. Fleming,

 

Have either of your very influential local-government departments obtained any factual information at any time during the tenure of either of you in your current respective positions that referred to whether there is a possible relationship or possible correlation between either involuntary or voluntary long-term personal exposure to continuous year-round, multi-year noise pollution in Austin, Texas, and permanent damage to that person's medical health?

 

One other respectful public-policy-related question for each of you high-ranking local public-health agency officials:

I have been informed that the Austin Police Department holds primary legal authority for enforcing anti-noise-pollution laws in Austin, Texas. 

Do either of you government officials know of any other government agency---such as your own respective local public health departments here in Austin----that can pursue legal actions to help reduce or lawfully terminate continuous noise pollution that's been determined to be significantly harmful to the medical health of one or more Austin residents who are or who is subjected to that continuous noise pollution against their or his or her wishes?

 

On behalf of this friendly e-mail letter to each of you two local-government health officials, I would like to share with each of you some public-policy-minded 21st Century e-mail correspondence of mine referring to alleged continuous and medically-injurious noise pollution in Austin, Texas, and Travis County, Texas:

I have responded to you several times; I can only assume that you did not like my responses. I have concurred with the response that Mr. Scott Daigle gave you. In addition, I told you that it is our "opinion that the Senate views issues such as pollution to be a local issue. You may have already addressed your concerns to representatives of the City and County, but you might want to continue discussing the issue with them."

Subject: 4-25-11 question for you from a constituent

Dear State Senator Watson,

I spoke today with Scott Daigle, who is in charge of constituent services for my duly elected state representative, State Rep. Donna Howard. Scott told me today on the telephone that he is not aware of any bill or resolution or legislation of any type that Rep. Howard has authored this session that is specifically designed to address concerns and complaints about my own living conditions in Austin, Texas, and elsewhere in Texas that I have myself shared with Rep. Donna Howard and her legislative staff.

Senator Watson, are you aware at this time of any bill or resolution or legislation of any type that you yourself have authored or sponsored this session that is specifically designed to address concerns and legal complaints of mine about my own living conditions in Texas that I myself have shared with you and your staff in Austin?

Among the many types of concerns I have shared with you and your staff, as you may recall, are:

---alleged criminal intent by one or more persons in a context victimizing myself, a scenario that Travis County District Attorney Ronald Earle directly acknowledged as having occurred in 2006, for instance, when he authorized Ms. Norma Hilbig, a paralegal under his supervision, to herself establish a "John McMillan" file in the DA's office in downtown Austin that exclusively contains criminal-law pre-prosecution legal evidence about various persons allegedly attempting to harm myself.

---alleged (possible) stalking of myself by (one or more of the numerous) persons whom I have already permanently rejected from my own life (a "Dan Hitt", "Roland Klose", "Jon Miller-Carrasco", "Guy Howard Miller", "Greg Rutchik", "Arnold Wong," "Chris Dale" or "Christopher Dale", and a "Max Alberts", among the (numerous) individuals whom I've already permanently rejected from my own life and career (in a very civil and law-abiding manner on my part), along with incessant verbalized communications about those rejected persons that have been inflicted on me by one or more persons unbeknownst to myself.

--alleged illegal or unjustifiable actions by some person or entity that deprived me myself of full and immediate access to all of my own cumulative or current financial wealth and all of my own cumulative or current property wealth as well, with my oldest brother, Kent Neal McMillan of Austin (now a resident of Westlake Hills) having himself acknowledged to me in 1994 on the telephone (during a long-distance phone call I made to him that day from my "Snyder Daily News" newspaper office workplace in Snyder, Texas) that I had myself accumulated as of that time a very sizable cumulative lifelong financial wealth and property wealth, Kent McMillan helpfully informed me on that one total occasion;

----alleged pervasive and comprehensive violations of my privacy rights in Texas, so much so that I myself cannot conceive of any Texan resident in the entire history of Texas whose privacy rights were violated as extensively and as comprehensively as my own privacy rights have been violated by persons and entities unbeknownst to myself;

---the alleged infliction of an illegal thought-control project on myself in Austin, Texas, and elsewhere that I definitely do not want and I definitely did NOT authorize;

---alleged infliction of slanderous and libelous communications on myself and about myself in Texas that I strongly oppose;

---alleged infliction of continuous, year-round and medically injurious noise pollution on myself, John Kevin McMillan, that I myself did not authorize and do not want, and that puts me at risk of "going deaf" as a law-abiding resident of Austin who myself does NOT listen to any loud music or generate loud noise during my leisuretime, with Dr. David Tobey, a nationally renowned ENT medical specialist, having examined my hearing capacity on numerous occasions and having documented statistically the significant permanent damage to my own hearing capacity resulting from media communications, including at my workplace, that I myself did NOT cause or authorize or generate or request, he helpfully assured me.

----alleged infliction of fraudulent or deliberately dishonest or fictitious communications and related "educational services" or "communications services" on myself that I definitely do NOT want and I definitely DID NOT authorize;

----the alleged attempt by numerous Central Texans (this according to Civil Probate Division Director of the Travis County Courthouse, Mr. David Ferris) to "drive you (John Kevin McMillan) out of the Austin area," as Mr. Ferris volunteered to me on the telephone in 2001 during a local phone call I made to his Travis County Government office from my rental apartment unit in northwest Austin.

---the alleged failure by numerous Texans to acknowledge my legal right to set my own priorities and to myself lead a lawfully heterophiliacal platonic life in which I'm more receptive toward and more inclusive as a human being toward a higher percentage of all masculine heterosexual adult men and all heterosexual adult women than of all homosexual male adult persons, all "gay" adult male persons, all effeminate heterosexual adult male persons, all bisexual male adult persons, all lesbian adult persons, all transsexual adult persons, and all transvestite adult persons, respectively.

Thank you in advance, State Senator Watson, for your helpful response to this one follow-up question from a law-abiding single adult male constituent of yours.

Incidentally, I would like to take this opportunity to call your attention to a blog of mine I wrote this weekend and today that cites the types of bills and resolutions that I myself wish that the Texas Legislature would approve before the Legislature adjourns at the end of May.

Sincerely and Best Wishes,

John Kevin McMillan, a consistently civil and law-abiding, permanently illicit-drug-free, permanently tobacco-free, and permanently alcohol-free, tattoo-less, clean-talking, gainfully employed, single adult gentleman constituent of yours.

Dear Scott,
Thank you for kindly authorizing me today to share with you the following (see below) E-mail correspondence of mine relating to what I believe is a major legal-liability issue facing state and local government in Austin, Texas.

I still, to this day, have not received any reply E-mail note of any type from the Federal Trade Commission in response to the question I posed to that federal agency in my March 5, 2011-dated (see below) E-mail letter about continuous, year-round noise pollution victimizing myself and injuring myself in Austin, Texas, over a multi-year period.

You indicated in our phone conversation today that State Rep. Donna Howard, my duly elected state legislator from the Austin area, does not know the name of the media company or media entity, or the name of the individual or individuals, who or that have inflicted constant, year-round, medically injurious noise pollution on myself in Austin, Texas, during the time period since I most recently moved back to Austin in mid-March 1997.
Is that a correct paraphrasing of your statement to me on the telephone today?...
Sincerely and Best Wishes,
John Kevin McMillan, a consistently civil and law-abiding, honest, gainfully employed, permanently teetotaling (alcohol-free), lifelong-tobacco-free, single adult male constituent of State Rep. Donna Howard.

Dear Very Distinguished and Influential Officials of the American Academy of Audiology,
I would appreciate any reply letter from any of you officials about this very important human-rights issue relating to permanent and significant hearing loss inflicted on me by year-round, continuous noise pollution occurring against my wishes and without my consent over a multi-decade period, including at present, in Austin, Texas.

Just this morning, for instance, I suffered a ringing sound in my left ear when I awoke from my sleep inside my very nice apartment unit in northwest Austin.

Please note the cited medical findings (see below) from Dr. David Tobey, a nationally renowned ear, nose, and throat medical specialist in Austin, about the noise pollution-inflicted damage to my medical health in Austin, Texas, that he has statistically documented in the period since 2005. I should mention that 2005 was the very first year in which Dr. Tobey examined me inside his ENT medical clinic in northwest Austin.

Prior to that, a Dr. Mueller (ENT medical specialist based at Medical Arts Square near the UT-Austin Law School) statistically documented my hearing capacity in the late 1990s and removed massive quantities of wax from each of my ears during that medical appointment I had scheduled in advance with himself. Dr. Mueller has since retired, from what I understand.

Dr. Tobey has helpfully emphasized to me inside his medical clinic in northwest Austin that I myself am definitely NOT the source of the injurious noise pollution, nor did I cause it or request it or generate it, Dr. Tobey has helpfully pointed out.

I have provided written authorization to Dr. Tobey to discuss his medical findings about me with any person or organization or government official or attorney who might ever contact Dr. Tobey at any time.
Thank you in advance for your very kind interest in my own quality of life in Austin, Texas.
Sincerely and Best Wishes,

Dear Culturally Influential and Ethics-Minded American Civic Leaders,

I would appreciate receiving a reply letter from ANY of you individuals who, like me, strongly believe that no media company and no corporation---no matter how powerful or financially successful it may be---should have the legal right to inflict significant permanent hearing loss, and the additional risk of deafness as well, on an American citizen (myself, for instance) in a context violating that American citizen's privacy rights....

I should mention, incidentally, that one private attorney in Austin, Texas, whom I've recently consulted about this did state to me last month inside his law office that he is very sure that I've been victimized by noise pollution violating my privacy rights----noise pollution, he emphasized, that comprises illegal and criminal activity on the part of the individual or individuals perpetrating that noise pollution on myself, he stated.

The same litigation-minded private attorney emphasized to me during the one-to-one legal consultation I had with him inside his law office near downtown Austin, that a civil-law lawsuit on my behalf can also be filed in a court of law in Austin, Texas, against the alleged source of that noise pollution, provided that a cited culprit or "respondent" could be cited by name in that lawsuit, that private attorney informed me.

I would appreciate any information that any of you are willing to share with me about the alleged source of the flagrantly illegal noise pollution victimizing myself in Austin, Texas, on a continuous and year-round basis ever since I moved back to Austin in mid-March of 1997, most recently.
Best Wishes,
John Kevin McMillan.

Dear Federal Trade Commission Officials in Washington, D.C.,
I have been very disappointed by your federal agency's failure to send me any reply note or reply letter in response to the following (see below) politely-worded letter I wrote and sent to your U.S. Government agency on March 5, 2011.
I would appreciate receiving a reply letter from your very influential federal agency as soon as possible about this legal-liability matter facing your federal agency and the United States Government.

Sincerely,
former Massachusetts resident John Kevin McMillan of Austin, Texas.

Subject: 3-5-11 legal complaint-related question to Federal Trade Commission

Dear Federal Trade Commission Officials in Washington, D.C.,
Is there any circumstance in which your federal agency would pursue legal actions, such as a lawsuit in a court of law, to lawfully and in a civil manner prevent or stop a business entity (such as an unethical media company, for instance) from inflicting medically injurious noise pollution on an American citizen (myself, for instance) against his wishes in a context that violated his own privacy rights.

Sincerely and Best Wishes,
noise pollution victim and longtime Texas resident John Kevin McMillan of Austin, Texas. I have most recently resided inside Austin proper on a continuous basis ever since mid-March of 1997; and I have resided inside Texas ever since January 1988, when I moved back to Texas from Quincy, Massachusetts.

cc: Dr. David Tobey, a nationally renowned ear, nose, and throat medical specialist in Austin, Texas, who has helpfully evaluated my hearing capacity and medical health on several occasions since 2005. Dr. Tobey has determined, with help from statistical reports about my hearing capacity that he has compiled, that permanent and irreversible damage to my hearing capacity and medical health from continuous, year-round noise pollution in Austin, Texas, during that multi-year period since 2005 has been significant in nature, Dr. Tobey has informed me. Dr. Tobey has also recently stated to me in person inside his medical clinic, during a medical examination of me, that permanent damage to my own hearing capacity and medical health resulting from my involuntary exposure to noise pollution in Austin, Texas, has been of the magnitude that an officer of the Austin Police Department in Austin, Texas, would himself sustain over the course of his entire career with that municipal law-enforcement agency. Dr. Tobey ---- whose medical internship was in Boston, Mass. ---- has helpfully stated to me during medical examinations of me in recent years that he is very sure that I myself did NOT authorize the cited noise pollution, nor did I request it, nor did I generate it myself in any way, Dr. Tobey has helpfully assured me in person inside his medical clinic in northwest Austin.

Ms. Hayden-Howard and Ms. Fleming, I want to thank each of you in advance for your very helpful reply letter to me on this very important public-policy issue and public-health issue of alleged continuous and unwanted and medically-injurious year-round noise pollution that is currently facing Austin and Travis County, Texas.

 

Sincerely and Best Wishes,

John Kevin McMillan, a gainfully-employed, privacy-respectful, dependably civil and law-abiding and honest, single-by-choice, longtime-celibate-by-choice, always-sober and never-high, lifelong-tobacco-free, white adult Anglo-Saxon English-Scottish-German-American gentleman and American citizen, age 63. I am also the founder and only approved current member of the politely-non-Christian and anti-noise-pollution-minded Progressive Prohibitionist Religion (PPR). PPR is a permanently-drinking-alcohol-free, permanently-tobacco-free, anti-marijuana-minded religion with very stringent membership-eligibility requirements.
