May 12
Hi John. Say, if I were to very respectfully ask that you remove me from this list, would you be willing to do that? Two reasons: 1) … and this is no lie, my wife just got offered a job in Geneva Switzerland with an organization called the International Labor Organization that is affiliated with the UN. Yep, I’m moving to Geneva Switzerland. I will be back next spring for a couple months with my son who will be returning to his current high school, Eagan, but then after he graduates, I’m headed back over there. Yep, I’m really excited. I’m going to transition back into consulting and I am trying to line up a gig as something called an “Honorary (yep, I’d be fricking HONORARY) Consul”. How great is that? But in the immediate term, I plan on visiting as much of Europe with my son and wife as possible!! Et je parle francais, aussi! So the thing is john, this email address is getting shut down, and I’d really appreciate not having to explain some of this to someone.
2) Seriously, John, if this was happening to me, I would just get the hell out of there. You might recall when we spoke on the phone a few months back, that was my - perhaps unsolicited advice – but my advice all the same. There must be better options somewhere, right?
So thanks. I think back fondly at my time at COACT, and the truth is, you were one of the first friends I made in this town. But it’s time for me to open up this next big chapter of my life, so I am asking you to take me off this list please, okay, John?
Thanks. Sincerely,
Matt

Subject: Fw: FIVE City of Austin departments consulting an attorney re: me
A respectful FYI to each of you on the following (below) news item,
from John Kevin McMillan , an always-sober (I don't drink alcohol or smoke, etc.), longtime-celibate-by-choice, self-identified victim of alleged cotinuous-and-still-to-this-day-continuing personal-injury-crimes and anal-rape-crimes-during-my-sleep (I ALWAYS sleep alone on my bed inside my bolt-locked private bedroom in a Westdale-managed apartment unit that I currently share with an older man whose application to room with me was approved in April 2013 by the apartment management team at this apartment complex. He himself sleeps alone with his tiny-head "cat" in the living room on a bed of his own) on a daily and year-round basis in Austin, Texas.

Subject: re: FIVE City of Austin departments consulting an attorney re: me
Please note (below) that in the three-year period since April 1, 2011, five separate departments or offices of the City Government of Austin ---including the Austin Police Department---have each reportedly consulted the City Attorney's Office in Austin, Texas, in a context directly referring to myself, John Kevin McMillan of Austin.
That factual information is contained in a signed April 30, 2014-dated legal letter from Assistant City Attorney Elaine Nicholson in which she is asking Texas Attorney General Gregory Abbott --- the cited recipient of that letter from herself --- to grant exemption to the City of Austin from the state law that requires release to myself of any and all of the cited legal documents on file with the City of Austin Law Department.
The cited documents reportedly contain factual information about the nature of the legal consultations specifically referring to myself by employees or officials of the five cited City Government of Austin departments or offices during the period since April 1, 2011.
Those five City of Austin departments or offices are:
---the Austin Police Department, as noted above;
---the City Manager's Office;
---the City's Public Infomation Office;
----the City's Human Resources Department; and
----the City Clerk's Office in Austin.
Incidentally, I would also like to take this opportunity to correct a misspelling in the cited username for a cited UT System official. The correct spelling of his name is: Barry Burgdorf. I need to also mention that I just now learned through online research today that he no longer holds the cited job title for the UT System in Austin.
Thank you for your very kind interest in this alleged crime case in which I am the self-identified longtime-celibate-by-choice, lifelong-NON-Christian, implicitly-deistic and religiously independent (Progressive Prohibitionist Religion, an anti-alcohol, anti-tobacco, anti-marijuana religion I myself founded in which I am the ONLY approved member), gainfully-employed, dependably civil and law-abiding and honest, single adult white male victim.
Sincerely and Best Wishes,
John Kevin McMillan, current criminal-law complainant in Travis County District Attorney's Office Public Integrity Unit Case 9655-13. The phone number for the first-rate Sergeant Investigator who is compiling crime evidence for that case, Ms. Lori Carter, is (512) 854-9530. She has kindly authorized me to share this information with the news media.
The prosecuting attorney for this Travis County DA's Office Public Integrity Unit (PIU) case is: Travis County Assistant District Attorney Rob Drummond. (Incidentally, the FAX number for Sergeant Investigator Carter and Prosecuting Attorney Drummond at the PIU is: 512-854-4810.)

Dear Sergeant Investigator Carter in the Public Integrity Unit of the Travis County District Attorney's Office in Austin, Texas,
Thank you for your prompt reply note (below) to me on this.
I appreciate your having politely confirmed for me in writing that you and Prosecuting Attorney Rob Drummond received the FAX I had sent you both that contained a copy of the three-page, signed, April 30, 2014, legal letter from an official of the City of Austin Law Department that was addressed to Texas Attorney General Gregory Abbott in Austin.
Sergeant Investigator Carter, I would also like to take this opportunity to offer a few corrections and clarifications to some hastily-written statements I made in an E-mail letter that I sent you on May 8, 2014.
Two of the paragraphs toward the end of my May 8, 2014, follow-up letter to you should have stated the following:
In the April 30, 2014, signed legal letter from Assistant City Attorney Nicholson, Ms. Nicholson informed Attorney General Abbott in writing that FIVE SEPARATE DEPARTMENTS OR OFFICES OF THE CITY GOVERNMENT OF AUSTIN HAVE EACH CONSULTED AN ATTORNEY OR LEGAL STAFF OR ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF OF THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE IN THE PERIOD SINCE APRIL 1, 2011, IN A CONTEXT RELATING TO MYSELF --- JOHN KEVIN MCMILLAN OF AUSTIN--- AND IN REGARD TO WHICH THE CITY IS NOW SEEKING TO WITHHOLD ANY AND ALL INFORMATION FROM ME ABOUT WHAT WAS DISCUSSED IN THOSE NUMEROUS CITED LEGAL CONSULTATIONS.
THOSE FIVE CITED DEPARTMENTS OR OFFICES OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN ARE THE AUSTIN POLICE DEPARTMENT, THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE, THE CITY OF AUSTIN HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT, THE CITY'S PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICE, AND THE CITY CLERK'S OFFICE, ACCORDING TO WHAT MS. NICHOLSON STATED IN HER APRIL 30, 2014, SIGNED LETTER TO ATTORNEY GENERAL ABBOTT IN REGARD TO MYSELF.
For your convenience, I am also at this time making those copy-editing changes (below) to the text of those two paragraphs contained in the E-mail letter I sent you this Thursday.
Please disregard the earlier version of the cited May 8, 2014, E-mail letter to you from myself, which I had sent you at about noon this Thursday. I apologize to you and Prosecuting Attorney Rob Drummond for the minor factual errors found in the two cited paragraphs in that particular E-mail letter to you from myself.
Sincerely and Best Wishes,
John Kevin McMillan, a former full-time newspaper reporter, and a former full-time employee in Austin of three respective law-enforcement agencies of the State Government of Texas: the Texas Department of Public Safety state agency, the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles state agency, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice state agency.

Dear Sergeant Investigator Carter,
Thank you again for your very diligent and very polite style as the investigator for the criminal-law complaint that I have filed through your nobly vigilant Public Integrity Unit in which I am alleging that one or more employees or officers or officials of the Austin Police Department (APD) may have allegedly violated the law and may have allegedly committed a possible felony crime in conduct of theirs toward myself.
I am also alleging that one or more employees or officers or officials of APD may have violated the law and committted a possible felony crime as well as through their conduct in "response" to crime reports I have filed with APD and in response to tangible crime evidence I have provided to APD.
I am referring to the numerous crime reports and extensive very tangible crime evidence provided by myself to APD about my being a self-identified victim of alleged anal-rape-crimes and alleged personal-injury crimes on a daily and year-round and still-to-this-day-(May 8, 2014)-continuing basis as I lie ALONE on a bed I own inside my bolt-locked private bedroom of my bolt-locked rental apartment unit at the Westdale-managed Wind River Crossing Apartments in Austin.
The only two total exceptions to that from the entire period ever since and including the early morning hours of April 17, 2011, were the early-morning hours of Saturday, Sept. 3, 2011, and Saturday, Sept. 10, 2011. On each of those two total mornings, I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock at 9 a.m., and I felt fully refreshed and delighted from having enjoyed a full night's healthful rest and a full night's uninterrupted sleep without ANY indication from either of those two total early-morning periods that I had myself been subjected to ANY alleged molestation of myself by anyone, ANY alleged personal-injury crimes victimizing myself, or ANY alleged anal-rape crimes victimizing myself during my sleep on either of those two total early-morning periods.
Investigator Carter, this is a follow-up letter to simply ask you to please confirm for me in writing that you received the five-page FAX I sent you on May 2, 2014, that contains a photocopy of a three-page, April 30, 2014-dated signed legal letter that City of Austin Assistant City Attorney Elaine Nicholson wrote and mailed by First Class Mail to Texas Attorney General Gregory Abbott of the Office of the Attorney General of Texas state agency in Austin.
I am referring to the three-page signed legal letter from Ms. Nicholson on official City of Austin Law Department stationery in which she asks Texas Attorney General Abbott to grant the City of Austin exemption from the Texas Open Records Act state law that requires the City to provide me with any and all documents responsive to my April 16, 2014, Texas Open Records request (below) --- a public-information request exclusively seeking documents referring to myself --- that I had written and submitted by E-mail to the Public Information Manager of the City of Austin Law Department at her cited official E-mail address of deborah.jennings@austintexas.gov.
In the April 30, 2014, signed legal letter from Assistant City Attorney Nicholson, Ms. Nicholson informed Attorney General Abbott in writing that FIVE SEPARATE DEPARTMENTS OR OFFICES OF THE CITY GOVERNMENT OF AUSTIN HAVE EACH CONSULTED AN ATTORNEY OR LEGAL STAFF OR ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF OF THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE IN THE PERIOD SINCE APRIL 1, 2011, IN A CONTEXT RELATING TO MYSELF --- JOHN KEVIN MCMILLAN OF AUSTIN--- AND IN REGARD TO WHICH THE CITY IS NOW SEEKING TO WITHHOLD ANY AND ALL INFORMATION FROM ME ABOUT WHAT WAS DISCUSSED IN THOSE NUMEROUS CITED LEGAL CONSULTATIONS.
THOSE FIVE CITED DEPARTMENTS OR OFFICES OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN ARE THE AUSTIN POLICE DEPARTMENT, THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE, THE CITY OF AUSTIN HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT, THE CITY'S PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICE, AND THE CITY CLERK'S OFFICE, ACCORDING TO WHAT MS. NICHOLSON STATED IN HER APRIL 30, 2014, SIGNED LETTER TO ATTORNEY GENERAL ABBOTT IN REGARD TO MYSELF.
For your convenience, Investigator Carter, I am also including (below) in this follow-up letter the entire contents of my April 16, 2014, public-information request to the City of Austin that prompted the City of Austin Law Department to submit the cited April 30, 2014, letter to Texas Attorney General Gregory Abbott, in regard to myself:
"To: Ms. Deborah Jennings, Public Information Manager for the City of Austin Law Department in Austin, Texas, with your office phone number being (512) 974-1305.
"April 16, 2014
"Dear Ms. Jennings,
"Thank you for your reply letter (below) in regard to the first portion of my March 21, 2014, Texas Open Records request to the City Government of Austin.
"This is a follow-up public-information request to the City of Austin that I believe to be very fair and reasonable and appropriate.
"Ms. Jennings, I would like to ask you today for a photocopy or computer printout of any and all letters, E-mail letters, memoranda, handwritten notes, policy decisions, or any other legal documents that were each written by or on behalf of or received by an attorney or staff member for the City Government of Austin Law Department at any time since April 1, 2011, and that, in each such case, referred to myself, John Kevin McMillan of Austin, in any manner or any way.
"EXCLUDED from the scope of this follow-up public-information request are any and all letters or E-mail letters that were exclusively written by myself, John Kevin McMillan of Austin, Texas.
"Please let me know as soon as possible if you anticipate that the administrative charge you plan to ask me to pay you in exchange for your processing this most recent public-information request from myself might be more than $20. That information from you would then give me the opportunity to revise this particular April 16, 2014-dated public-information request to the City of Austin.
"Thank you in advance for your prompt and helpful reply letter on this.
"Sincerely and Best Wishes,
