Subject: Majority Leader Schultz, Some Additional Concerns for You
November 29, 2023
Dear Utah House of Representatives Majority Leader Mike Schultz,
Thank you again for your kind written invitation to me that I share with you additional concerns of mine that relate to possible public-policy issues for our great state of Utah.
Among those tentative concerns of mine and related questions I am posing to you in this follow-up brainstorming letter are:
---As an opponent of so-called "medical" marijuana, I am very concerned that the legalization of so-called "medical" marijuana in our state will spawn disastrous consequences for our entire state, including:
(1) a significant increase in the number of fatal or injurious motor vehicle collisions and single-vehicle accidents in Utah in which one or both motorists in the accident were driving while "under the influence of 'medical marijuana'".
(2) a significant statewide waste of water resulting from agricultural production and distribution of so-called "medical marijuana".
(3) very toxic depletion of agricultural cropland acreage in Utah that otherwise could have been used for production of very nutritious and healthful crops such as cherries that benefit millions of Utahns of all ages.
(4) a significant increase in the number of Utahns or visitors to Utah who "fake" symptoms of terminal illness and obtain a false or fraudulent statement from a physician that they then use in applying to receive State of Utah-sponsored "medical marijuana" on a year-round basis.
(5) a very injurious defacto legitimization of any and all illicit drugs may have resulted from the ill-advised legal precedent set by the Utah Legislature of decriminalizing certain types of marijuana consumption.
I maintain that Marijuana has been and continues to be a Gateway Drug that lures Utahns into consuming other illicit drugs that are very toxic to those who "decide to add them to my Mind-Altering Drugs Repertoire," as many Utahns will no doubt put it in candid conversations they have with personal acquaintances of theirs.
---Is there any factual evidence that several or more of the current rivers of Utah are at dire risk of either drying up or dying from water pollution? If so, should there be a Utah River Revitalization Plan that might be funded in part by the Utah Legislature and also by enlightened philanthropists?
The emphasis on the crisis involving the Great Salt Lake has received so much news-media attention that the urgent need to protect, strengthen, and revitalize existing rivers of Utah may have been neglected.
Among the most important rivers to protect and strengthen here in Utah is the Colorado River.
"Approximately 27% of the water used in Utah comes from the Colorado River and 60% of Utahans benefit directly from the river," as the copyrighted Utah Department of Natural Resources state agency official website states.
---I myself am not aware of any authoritative study that has been conducted by an outside consultant to identify public- policy strategies for solving the Inversion-Layer Air Pollution Crisis here in Utah.
Should the Utah State Legislature provide funding for a nationally acclaimed expert on the Inversion-Layer Air Pollution Crisis in the USA to conduct a study in which he or she offers recommendations for public- policy actions the Utah State Legislature can pursue to significantly reduce Inversion-Layer Air Pollution levels here in Salt Lake County, Utah, and elsewhere in our state?
---Should the Utah Legislature assist in the establishment of an American Inversion-Layer Pollution Solutions Association or some similarly named organization that represents and serves many of the cities, counties, and urban areas throughout the USA that are currently threatened and harmed by an Inversion-Layer Pollution Crisis in their area?
The proposed new quasi-governmental organization could provide expert witnesses on Inversion-Layer Air Pollution to testify on behalf each of the applicable cities, counties, and urban areas of Utah at "Pollution Solution" hearings of a Utah Legislature committee.
---Should the Utah State Legislature approve the creation of a special permanent new subcommittee with an exclusive focus on seeking to help solve the Utah Inversion-Layer Air Pollution Crisis in the entire urban area in which Salt Lake City is the most populous city?
----Should the Utah Legislature assist in the establishment of a proposed new "Utah Water Superfund" that could help cities and counties of Utah to sponsor significant expansion of current water-conservation programs and water-quality-enhancement programs in those cities and counties?
The proposed new Superfund could be financed in part by nonprofit foundations and corporations and philanthropists here in Utah, with the Utah State Legislature offering deductions on their own state corporate income taxes or personal state income taxes to those enlightened donors.
----Should the Utah Legislature provide funding for production of a new fact-filled and educational movie or videotape that explores the 10 or 20 leading causes of injuries to Utahns, by age category, that result from their falling on a public sidewalk, falling from a cliff, falling from a Scooter or motorcycle or bicycle, or sustaining another type of accident in which they fall and are injured?
The Utah Legislature could then require that all public-school students in Utah must watch that entire documentary or educational videotape during a school day, and must then pass a multiple-choice test focused on what they had learned from watching that educational videotape or film.
----Should the Utah Legislature require some cities to widen their public sidewalks in order to reduce traffic congestion on those sidewalks that results from a recent significant increase in the total combined number of --- and in the variety of types of --- "vehicles" that pedestrians ride on outdoor sidewalks in Utah, including Scooters, Skateboards, Roller Skates, electric bikes (reportedly illegal on sidewalks), etc.
---Should the Utah Legislature approve funding for a proposed Sidewalk Traffic Patrol that issues traffic tickets to persons riding an electric bike on a public sidewalk and persons exceeding the speed limit or driving recklessly on outdoor public sidewalks here in Utah?
----Should the Utah Legislature increase the criminal-law penalty for any and all crime cases in which one or more perpetrators committed an home invasion-related crime involving illegal entry into a locked home, condominium unit, or apartment unit in Utah?
---Should the Utah Legislature impose a ban on possession and ownership of more than three total guns inside the home of a Utahn family? I am posing this question because it seems to me that the more guns there are being kept inside a home, the greater the risk that some member of that household will grab at least one gun and accidentally injure himself, another member of that household, or a friendly authorized visitor to that home.
---The incidence of attempted homicides and homicides that are perpetrated by Utahns under age 21 appears to be increasing at an alarming rate. Should the Utah Legislature commission a new study by a first-rate outside consultant that attempts to identify why violent crimes being committed by Utahns ages 6 to age 20 appear to be occurring with possibly unprecedented frequency?
---There appears to have been a shocking increase in the number of adult women and possibly in the number of teenage girls in Utah who commit or attempt to commit a violent crime.
Should the Utah Legislature provide funding for an outside consultant or a professional criminologist or forensic psychologist in Utah to evaluate what might account for any recent increase in violent crimes being perpetrated by female Utahns?
--The spread of the often-fatal HIV virus and other Sexually Transmitted Diseases here in Utah is alarming.
Should the Utah Legislature require that any and all nightclubs and all pick-up bars in Utah must post a warning sign inside that establishment that contains a public-health message such as:
"Warning: The current HIV infection rate in Utah as of January of This Year Was ...and the Current Sexually Transmitted Disease Rate in Utah as of January of This Year Was ...." ;
Or
"Warning: Participating In Sexual Contact With a Complete Stranger Increases Your Risk of Contracting The Often-Fatal HIV Virus or Other Sexually Transmitted Diseases"; or
"Warning: If You Have Symptoms for the HIV virus or Recently Tested HIV-Positive and then engage in sexual contact or intimate physical contact with another person, you can be Charged With a Crime Here In Utah".
---I was very disappointed when Utah Governor Spencer Cox chose not to send me any reply letter in response to a polite 2022 e-mail letter I wrote and sent to Governor Cox in which I asked him if he supports my own legal right to lead a completely celibate lifestyle as a single adult white Anglo-Saxon male resident of Salt Lake City.
The full exact text of my September 21, 2022, e-mail letter to Governor Cox was:

Subject: 9-21-22 follow-up on Celibate Rights Issue
September 21, 2022
Dear Very Honorable Utah Republican Governor Spencer Cox,
Best Wishes to you from this particular permanently-alcohol-free, lifelong-tobacco-free, proudly anti-marijuana, clean-talking, facially cleanshaven, lifelong-tattoo-less, single adult gainfully-employed Anglo-Saxon Utahn gentleman with strong Latter-day Saints heritage.
I am proud to say that I have resided in Salt Lake County, Utah, on a continuous basis ever since December 31, 2021.
Governor Cox, I was very pleased to recently learn that you are a highly-esteemed attorney, which no doubt guides you in helping protect the legal rights of newcomers to this wonderful state.
Governor Cox, I spoke on the the telephone with McKenna of your Utah Governor's Office staff at about 1:40 p.m. Mountain Standard Time on Tuesday, September 6, 2022.
As you of course know, McKenna is employed in your state agency's Office for Victims of Crime in our culturally influential state capital of Salt Lake City.
After providing me in our September 6 phone conversation with very helpful advice she kindly volunteered in regard to the Salt Lake City Police Department, McKenna politely responded to a question I posed to her.
"That's a good question," McKenna said. She politely added that she will need to obtain more information before contacting me with a reply to my question.
My above-cited question to McKenna of your staff during our September 6 phone conversation had been: "Does your office support my right to lead a celibate life here in Salt Lake City?" (approximate quote).
Governor Cox, are you willing to state to me in writing that you as the friendly Chief Executive in our state support my own legal right to lead a celibate lifestyle here in Salt Lake City?
Thank you in advance, Mr. Governor, for your very reassuring reply letter to me on this very important human-rights issue for myself.
With Friendly Best Wishes from John Kevin McMillan, a son of Murray native Dr. Calvin McMillan, a nephew of former Salt Lake City-based paper-industry executive Roy McMillan, and a grandson of former Murray butcher-shop owner, Murray resident, and LDS member Parley McMillan and his devoted LDS member wife, Alice Mae Pugh McMillan. I am also a certified direct descendent of the great Puritan religious leader Rev. William Brewster. Rev. Brewster served as head chaplain on the Mayflower and, later, as the leading religious adviser to British Plymouth Colony Governor William Bradford.
My solo-occupancy always-locked rental-apartment unit home address ever since June 1, 2022:
Wasatch Manor, 535 S. 200 E., Apt. 912, Ninth Floor, Salt Lake City, Utah 84111.
My cell phone number: (512) 993-7305.
My home phone number: (801) 355-0850.
_______
Utah House Majority Leader Schultz, I hope that the House of Representatives under your very helpful leadership will please approve a resolution or new state law that deplores conduct by (or increases the criminal-law punishment here in Utah to be imposed on) individuals who break into the locked residence of a sleeping single adult person lying alone unconscious on his own bed and then themselves inflict somnophilia-related or hate-crime-related sexual contact or intimate physical contact or anal-pain or illegal nasal inhalants or unauthorized hydration on the victim or harmful noise pollution directed into the ears of the victim while he or she is held asleep and unconscious.
Majority Leader Schultz, I hope these very tentative brainstorming ideas prove to be helpful to you and your colleagues in the Utah Legislature here in Salt Lake City.
Sincerely and Best Wishes,
John Kevin McMillan, 535 South 200 East, Apt. 912, Ninth Floor, Salt Lake City, UT 84111.
My cell phone: (512) 993-7305.
My home phone: (801) 355-0850.
