Subject: 1-18-24 Ideas for UT State Majority Leader Schultz

January 18, 2024

Dear Utah State House Majority Leader Mike Schultz,

Thank you again for your words of encouragement to me in your December 6, 2023, reply e-mail letter to me.  Your friendly  letter asked me to share with you concerns of mine about Utah.

As a new permanent resident of Utah and former full-time employee of the Texas DPS, I feel very honored by your conveyed confidence in my ability to generate tentative ideas for possible new state laws or non-binding State  House Resolutions for the State Government of Utah.

Some tentative ideas I want to today  offer you and your Utah State House colleagues:

-----I am concerned that many Utahns and visitors to Utah  may be neglecting the needs of all younger persons and all adults in our state through a current failure by many adult Utahns to participate fully in having their own trash items recycled on a year-round basis.

The Utah House under your enlightened leadership could approve funding for a statewide study to obtain a reliable current  estimate on the percentage of all Utahn households and the percentage of all Utahns, respectively,  who or that currently participate in extensive or comprehensive and year-round recycling of trash items generated by their household or by themselves on an individual basis. 

Those estimates would be very useful to our state and local government governing bodies and agencies as they each attempt to promote participation in recycling by as many Utahn residents and as many visitors to our state as possible.

-----I am concerned that owners of businesses in Utah may currently believe that they are not offered enough financial incentive by the State of Utah for themselves  to agree to participate fully in recycling of as many trash items generated by their business as possible.

Could a Utah House-authorized new study attempt to identify any successful financial incentive strategies used  by other U.S. states that have helped those states to significantly increase levels of participation in recycling by business owners in those respective states? 

I pose this question in the hope that a financial incentive strategy of that type by one or more other U.S. states might also be successful if implemented here in Utah.

----I am concerned that the least violent of the cities and towns and villages or counties of Utah currently may not be getting adequate public statewide acclaim for  admirable conduct by  residents  and visitors to those towns and counties  in which they:

(a) never or almost never resist arrest by a certified peace officer; 

(b) never or almost never verbalize a death threat to a municipal police officer or sheriff's deputy; 

(c) never or almost never shout  profanity or obscene speech in a context  verbally harassing or verbally defying a certified peace officer in their town or county of residence;

and 

(d) they never or almost never attempt to physically assault or attempt to injure  a local police officer or local sheriff's office deputy.

I feel that it will be very inspirational to our entire Great State of Utah  if your sagacious Utah State House lawmakers approve a Resolution praising one or more cities or towns or villages or counties of Utah where the level of civility and respect toward certified peace officers in that town (or county) is either the highest in our entire state or among the highest in our entire  state.

----I urge you to ask your colleagues in the Utah House to please approve a Resolution or state law declaring that any person who witnesses and fails to immediately  report to a law enforcement agency in Utah a fire or sexual assault or shooting or other personal-injury crime or a motor-vehicle accident  in Utah, REGARDLESS of the witness's own religious affiliation,  can be charged with a crime of Arson or Endangering the Safety of Others or Obstruction of Justice or Acting as an Accomplice in Violent  Crime here in Utah.

----I am concerned that there has been an erosion of collective religious-affiliation accountability, collective racial-identity accountability, and collective nation-of-citizenship accountability by Utahns of today who get charged with a misdemeanor or felony crime in our state or who are behind the wheel of a motor vehicle when they sustain an accident on the roadway.

In view of the apparent massive influx of non-Mormons and non-Anglos moving  into Utah this century, many of them hostile toward Mormons and the LDS Religion and hostile toward Anglo-Saxon  Utahns and toward  Anglo-Saxon cultural values,  and in view of the frequent   lack of news-media publicity here in Utah about the religious affiliation (or anti-religious or atheist affiliation, if applicable),   racial identity, and nation of citizenship of respective alleged crime perpetrators or motorists involved in a collision here in Utah, many law-abiding Utahns are deprived of access to those types of  highly  pertinent factual information.

I will be very pleased if the Utah State House is willing to  approve a new state law for Utah requiring  each and every law-enforcement agency in Utah to state in its official crime reports and official motor-vehicle accident reports the religious affiliation or anti-religious affiliation,  racial identity, and nation of citizenship of each and every person who gets arrested and charged with a misdemeanor or felony crime in Utah or who  is involved in a motor-vehicle accident here in Utah for which a police report is obtained.

State House Majority Leader Schultz, thank you in advance for giving consideration to these tentative public-policy recommendations from myself.

Sincerely and Best Wishes,

John Kevin McMillan, founder and only approved member of the fully independent and non-proselytizing "Progressive Prohibitionist Religion"---a new religion not registered with the State of Utah and also a religion  that does not agree to having a second member at any time in the foreseeable future.
