Subject: Quiz show to foster statewide shared knowledge re:UT

March 19, 2024

Dear Cody,

Thank you again for recently inviting me on the telephone to send to you public policy-related ideas for Utah that might be of interest to Congresswoman Celeste Maloy, my safe-housing-supportive and courageously  incisive new duly elected official representative in the U.S. House of Representatives.

If I had the money to invest in the idea, I would like to myself help finance the development of a year-round "Utah Jeopardy!"-type  television  quiz show that is focused exclusively on Utahns and Utah, with some questions on each show to be possibly focused on a U.S. state (Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, or  Nevada) that directly borders Utah.

I am writing to you about this proposed very wholesome cultural and educational service for all Utahns because it is possible that "Federal Communications Commission" federal-agency support will be needed for this proposed new TV show.

I feel sure that a weekly or daily television program  of this type will help to promote cultural and geographical and  historical literacy, along with  enhanced pride  about and love of Utah and law-abiding Utahns by as many current residents of Utah and visitors to Utah  as possible.

I am also very  hopeful that enhanced affinity for Utah that the new TV show will foster  can help reduce the suicide rate and violent crime rate and the criminal recidivism rate throughout our entire  state.

The proposed new  "Utah Jeopardy!" television show can enable  non-gambling Utahns, many of them Mormons, to pursue a source of additional personal income  that rewards them financially for their  knowledge about Utah in a wide variety of topic areas, and for their  skill at answering questions quickly on that quiz show.

 The proposed new Utah-theme television show could also promulgate Utah's convincing response  to Nevada: 

Knowledge and skill, NOT "luck at a gambling casino", should earn you a decent income that enables you to pay your bills and  financially  support yourself and your family members living  in the same household with you  here in Utah.

Cody, I will be very pleased if  this brainstorming letter appeals to you and to Congresswoman Maloy. I hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely and Best Wishes,

from permanently alcohol-free, lifelong-tobacco-free, lifelong-nonvaping, lifelong-tattoo-less, proudly non-stalking and pro-law-enforcement and vigilant, dependably civil and law-abiding and honest and  very opposed to "thought control projects" and fraudulent communications and  anonymous communications projects, clean-talking and non-profane,  single adult male white Anglo-Saxon non-Hispanic and lawfully Anglophiliacal   American citizen and new permanent Utah resident (ever since January 1, 2023) and Utah  registered-voter  constituent John Kevin McMillan, 535 South 200 East, Apt. 912, Ninth Floor, Salt Lake City, UT 84111.
