Dear Ms. Page,
Does your reply letter to me today indicate that our very honorable Lieutenant Governor, Deidre Henderson, would like me to schedule an in-person meeting with her?
If so, I would welcome that opportunity for an in-person dialogue with that very influential Republican State of Utah official.
Sincerely and Best Wishes from John Kevin McMillan, the youngest grandson of former Murray (UT) butcher shop owner Parley McMillan, a Mormon gentleman and civic leader in Murray, and his very devoted LDS member wife, Mrs. Alice Mae Pugh (maiden surname) McMillan.

Please note: The lieutenant governor’s schedule changes frequently and, at times, virtually at the last minute. Because of her obligations to the state, she could be called away at any time. In the event she must miss your event, you will be notified as quickly as possible. We appreciate your patience and understanding.

Dear Utah State Rep. Joel Briscoe, Utah State Senator Derek Kitchen, and Utah State Senator-Elect Dr. Jenn Plumb,
As a current or future constituent of each of you, I urge each of you very influential current or future legislstors here in Utah to please author, sponsor, co-sponsor, or advocate for a new state law that will:
---Require an automatic 10 percent increase per unit of water on any and all monthly water bills that are incurred by private citizens or businesses in Utah.
---Require that any land developer or real-estate developer in Utah must provide an annual report to the State of Utah on land-conservation strategies, water-conservation strategies, water-quality enhancement strategies, and air-quality enhancement strategies that each such developer is pursuing.
---Establish a "Utah Water Saver Superfund" that can help enable state and local government agencies throughout Utah to reduce water consumption levels while also improving the quality of tap water, river water, and spring water throughout Utah.
---Impose a Utah Water Saver tax and Utah Air Quality tax on any and all hotel guests renting a hotel room anywhere in Utah, with revenues from that tax going toward the above-cited Superfund and toward state funding for air-quality enhancement projects throughout Utah.
---Require that each and every ski resort in Utah must charge each of their paying guests a cited fee that goes toward the Water Saver Superfund and a possible Utah Air Quality Superfund.
----Invite tax-deductible financial donations to the Water Saver Superfund from private citizens, non-profit foundations, generous religious groups such as the LDS Church, businesses, millionaires, and billionaires residing in Utah, with donations serving as a basis for a deduction from the private citizen's or business donor's annual State of Utah Income Tax payments or State of Utah corporate income tax payments.
---Establish a "Friends of Utah" organization that invites financial donations to that Superfund from out-of-state residents who have visited Utah in order to go skiing here, and who want to help keep the skiing industry and environment as vibrant as possible
here in Utah, and from businesses throughout Utah and the entire USA that profit from tourism in Utah.
---Help finance the proposed Utah Water Saver
Superfund through imposition of a special State of Utah Water Saver Tax on each and every business in Utah that manufactures bottled beverage products or canned beverage products, or that builds swimming pools, or that has been officially cited as a "Water Waster" by a government agency in Utah.
---Establish a fully-staffed "Utah Water Saver Patrol" employing professional investigators who invite "Water Waster" complaints from residents and issue citations to businesses that fail to meet water conservation standards as delineated by the Utah Legislature or the Utah Department of Natural Resources.
---Offer financial incentives to business owners throughout Utah for replacement of current sinks or toilets in their office or workplace with water-saving sinks and water-conserving toilets in each of that business's restrooms.
---Offer financial incentives to retail stores in Utah to discontinue their sale of water-wasteful sinks, water-wasteful toilets, water-wasteful bathtubs, and water-wasteful showers here in Utah, and to instead sell to consumers water-conserving sinks, water-efficient toilets, water-saving bathtubs, and water-saving showers.
---Require the permanent closing of any and all of the so-called "gay bathhouses" of Utah, which are allegedly water-wasteful and allegedly spread sexually-transmitted diseases and other potentially fatal diseases at an unconscionable rate.
I hope these tentatively worded recommendations are helpful to each of you government officials during and before the upcoming 2023 session of the Utah Legislature.
Sincerely and Best Wishes,
John Kevin McMillan, 535 South 200 East, Apt. 912, Ninth Floor, Salt Lake City, UT 84111.
