Subject: re: City Atty to ask judge to explain how he helps youths

June 2, 2024

Dear Salt Lake City (UT) City Attorney Katherine N. Lewis,

I was very impressed on Thursday afternoon, May 30, when a polite male staff member in Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall's office on his own initiative chose to transfer  a phone call of mine from the Mayor's Office  to your also-influential government office.

The female staff member in your City Attorney's Office who then spoke with me in a friendly manner at about 1:30 p.m. that Thursday  stated that she herself is "Becky, the office manager". 

Becky helpfully stated to me that your City Attorney's Office will contact a courthouse in town and attempt to arrange for a friendly visit to a public  school here in Salt Lake City by an honorable local member of the Judiciary.

I am writing you today to ask if you would please ask your City Attorney's  Office Manager, Becky, at her earliest convenience  to send me  an update on this issue I discussed with her on my cell phone last Thursday afternoon, May 30.

I had called the Salt Lake City Mayor's Office on May 30 to ask if Mayor Mendenhall could please help arrange for a friendly visit by a professional judge employed here in town to a local public school where teenagers age 13 are among the students.

I explained to the Mayor's Office that our town apparently has an urgent need for a local judge to visit a public school classroom in Salt Lake City and explain to those public school students why courthouses and judges here have a VITAL ROLE in  helping PROTECT the safety and quality of life of public schoolchildren.

I made that request last Thursday, May 30, through the City of Salt Lake City shortly after I saw and heard within 10 feet of me on the northeastern side of the  outdoor platform at the Utah Transit Authority (UTA) "Courthouse Station" an approximately  13-year-old white male youth at roughly 1:15 p.m. that day loudly and profanely denounce "that Fucking (exact quote) COURTHOUSE (Exact Quote)!!"

That very surprising angry  outburst by an athletically talented and apparently intelligent white male youth   immediately prompted major concern for me in regard to  whether full  respect for government authority is being adequately fostered in all public schoolchildren here in this state-capital city for Utah.

The UTA Courthouse Station is located at 450 South Main Street here in downtown Salt Lake City.

The cited white  male youth and a darker-skinned male youth he repeatedly  interacted with on the platform on Thursday each held and rode and repeatedly dropped skateboards and  loudly shouted the "F-word" several times early that afternoon, May 30, on the northern end of the UTA Courthouse station.

I myself did not make any comment to or interact with either of those two male youths. 

I hope to hear from your first-rate Salt Lake City Attorney's Office at your earliest convenience.

Sincerely and Best Wishes,

former Texas DPS full-time employee John Kevin McMillan, 535 South 200 East, Apt. 117, First Floor, Salt Lake City, UT 84111.

I have been a permanent resident of Utah ever since January 1, 2023.

I am the youngest grandson of Murray (UT) butcher shop owner Parley Neal McMillan of Murray and his devoted LDS member wife, Mrs. Alice Mae Pugh (maiden surname) McMillan of Murray.
