Mr. McMillan,
The Texas Workforce Commission Civil Rights Division (TWCCRD) enforces the Texas Commission on Human Rights Act which prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex, disability, and age. Complaints filed with TWCCRD are dual-filed with the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) so it is not necessary to file with both the state and federal agencies. Although the complaints are filed with both agencies, only one will conduct an investigation. Employment complaints filed with TWCCRD must be filed within 180 days of the alleged discriminatory act.
The situation you have described below and the information you are requesting are both outside the jurisdiction of TWCCRD. As such, you would need to contact your local district or county attorney to determine the answers to your inquiries. TWCCRD does not enforce or has jurisdiction over criminal statutes.
Thank you,
Robert

Subject: 3-25-09 query re: verbalized death threats to someone at his workplace in TX
Dear Texas Workforce Commission Civil Rights Division Director Gomez in Austin,
I would appreciate a reply E-mail letter or signed reply letter from you, clarifying for me whether it is, in fact, flagrantly and very offensively illegal and an outrageous violation of state or federal law, for any person or group of persons to verbalize a death threat to someone (myself, for instance) at his own workplace during working hours for himself.
Also, what is the criminal-law penalty to any person or group of persons or any media company that or who are ever found guilty at any time of having subjected anyone (myself, for instance) at his own workplace to any verbalized death threat or any verbalized death threats at any time (such as might occur in a context featuring profane speech by the person or persons verbalizing that death threat against someone at his workplace).
Mr. Gomez, I look forward to receiving your reply letter about this very important civil-rights and human-rights and legal-rights issue for myself and many others.
Sincerely and Best Wishes,
John Kevin McMillan, a teetotaling and permanently-alcohol-free and anti-alcohol, permanently illicit-drug-free and anti-drug, lifelong-tobacco-free, psychologically healthy, disease-free and HIV-negative and hygienic, facially cleanshaven, tattoo-less, intellectually talented, honest and conscientious, consistently civil and consistently vigilant and consistently law-abiding (I have no criminal-conviction record, as I'm sure your Texas Workforce Commission state agency is already very aware), gainfully employed, polite, clean-talking, single adult gentleman. I might add that I am also a single gentleman who will myself insist on asserting my legal right to file a legal complaint against any employer or any work supervisor of mine, if applicable, that ever at any time permits any "background media services" provider or any "media services" provider operating at my own workplace, or anyone in person, for that matter, to repeatedly and on numerous occasions (or even on one occasion, for that matter) subject myself, John Kevin McMillan, at my workplace during working hours for myself, to ANY "anonymous verbalized death threat" against myself or any other form of verbalized death threat against myself.

Dear Mr. McMillan,
Again it is rather late for you to be up. I will attach my previous response to save you the time in going back and reading my last response.
The Travis County Clerk is the keeper of all mental health records and it is my understanding that the Clerk has ascertained, per your request, that there have been no mental health legal proceedings brought against you in Travis County since 1990. Since you did not ask the Clerk to search before 1990 so the Clerk had nothing to say about any earlier period before 1990.
I must say, though, that you seem to stay up too late as it is after midnight that you are sending this e-mail and the other three e-mails sent to me early this morning. I also notice from the numerous carbon copies of these e-mails and the trailers attached to them that you have quite a lengthy e-mail list. Staying up late and sending as many e-mails as you seem to be sending is not healthy, either menially (sic) or physically. You could get corporal tunnel syndrome from so much typing and staying up late generally means you are not getting enough sleep. Sending out an inordinate number of e-mails suggests there is too much stress in you (sic) life. Getting enough sleep leads to a productive work life. Having less stress in your life will also lead to a healthy lifestyle. A productive work life, lots of sleep, and a healthy lifestyle makes all of us feel better.
I am glad we could be of service and clear up your record or better yet, your lack of a record with the civil commitment system.

Dear Mr. McMillan,,
We are in receipt of your correspondence regarding noise pollution.
The Civil Rights Division of the Arizona Attorney General's office is empowered by the Arizona Civil Rights Act to investigate complaints regarding alleged unlawful discrimination in the areas of employment, housing, public accommodations and voting. In order for the Division to have jurisdiction over a complaint, it must contain an allegation that a person was subjected to discriminatory treatment because of the person's race, color, national origin, religion, sex (including pregnancy) or disability. Under the Arizona Fair Housing Act, a person's familial status is also a protected characteristic.
Based on the information that you have provided to the Division, it appears that this agency does not have jurisdiction to investigate your complaint. You may wish to consult with a private attorney regarding the matter. Please contact us at 602-542-5263 or toll free at 877-491-5742 if you have any questions regarding this letter or the Division's jurisdiction.
Sincerely,
Intake Unit

A courtesy carbon-copy to each of you governmental leaders and civic leaders on
the following E-mail correspondence of mine about medically injurious noise
pollution inflicted on myself against my wishes in Austin, Texas (in Travis as
well as Williamson counties), for which no alleged source of that continuous and
year-round noise pollution has ever been identified to me at any time by ANY
City of Austin official, ANY Travis County Government official, ANY Williamson
County Government official, ANY State Government of Texas official, or ANY U.S.
Government official. Nor has any media company or religious group or political
group ever provided me with that very important factual information.
One private attorney member of the State Bar of Texas, himself a very
distinguished alumnus of the University of South Texas Law School in Houston,
did helpfully inform me in a recent prior week that he believes I have myself
been victimized by illegal noise pollution in Austin, Texas, that comprises a
violation of the state penal code of Texas, that courageously insightful private
attorney helpfully informed myself. I am very grateful to that first-rate
attorney for also emphasizing to me that in addition to my filing criminal
charges in this matter, I have the legal right to myself also file a lawsuit in
a court of law in Texas (and elsewhere, I would assume) against the alleged
source of that unwanted noise pollution victimizing myself.
I would appreciate any reply letter from any of you in which you provide me with
any information or impressions you are willing to share with me in regard to
this very important legal and human-rights matter for myself. For instance:
WHICH MEDIA COMPANY or other media organization, such as a non-profit group of
any type, do YOU yourself suspect is the most likely to have subjected me in my
own life to continuous and year-round and medically injurious noise pollution
that I definitely DO NOT want in my own life.
Sincerely and Best Wishes from a teetotaling (no alcohol), tobacco-free,
consistently civil and law-abiding (I have no criminal-conviction record, in
fact, as the Texas Department of Public Safety has helpfully confirmed for me in
the last few years), non-stalking, clean-talking, honest, tattoo-less,
facially-cleanshaven, gainfully employed, fully ambulatory, single adult

Dear State Senator Watson,
In your role as my duly elected state senator, do you yourself know or sense
that you have possibly identified the alleged source of the continuous and
year-round noise pollution (cited below in legal correspondence from myself)
that has severely and permanently damaged my own hearing capacity and medical
health, and that puts me at risk of "going deaf" in Austin, Texas, in the
foreseeable future.
I should emphasize to you, Senator Watson, that I myself did NOT authorize the
cited noise pollution, nor did I generate it, nor am I the source of the cited
noise pollution that has significantly injured myself in Austin, Texas, over a
multi-year period, including this year. I definitely do NOT want the cited noise
pollution in my own life, as you are no doubt very aware.
Thank you in advance, Senator Watson, for your prompt response to this follow-up
question from myself. I am posing this question to you because my duly elected
state representative, Rep. Donna Howard, informed me in writing (see below)
through one of her top legislative staff members, Scott Daigle, that she herself does not know the source of the noise pollution violating my privacy rights about which I have complained to Rep. Howard on numerous occasions.

Dear Scott,
Thank you for kindly authorizing me today to share with you the following (see
below) E-mail correspondence of mine relating to what I believe is a major
legal-liability issue facing state and local government in Austin, Texas.
I still, to this day, have not received any reply E-mail note of any type from
the Federal Trade Commission in response to the question I posed to that federal
agency in my March 5, 2011-dated (see below) E-mail letter about continuous,
year-round noise pollution victimizing myself and injuring myself in Austin,
Texas, over a multi-year period.
You indicated in our phone conversation today that State Rep. Donna Howard, my
duly elected state legislator from the Austin area, does not know the name of
the media company or media entity, or the name of the individual or
individuals, who or that have inflicted constant, year-round, medically
injurious noise pollution on myself in Austin, Texas, during the time period
since I most recently moved back to Austin in mid-March 1997.
Is that a correct paraphrasing of your statement to me on the telephone today?
Thank you in advance for your helpful reply to that one follow-up question from
myself.

Dear Very Distinguished and Influential Officials of the American Academy of
Audiology,
I would appreciate any reply letter from any of you officials about this very
important human-rights issue relating to permanent and significant hearing loss
inflicted on me by year-round, continuous noise pollution occurring against my
wishes and without my consent over a multi-decade period, including at present,
in Austin, Texas.
Just this morning, for instance, I suffered a ringing sound in my left ear when
I awoke from my sleep inside my very nice apartment unit in northwest Austin.
Please note the cited medical findings (see below) from Dr. David Tobey, a
nationally renowned ear, nose, and throat medical specialist in Austin, about
the noise pollution-inflicted damage to my medical health in Austin, Texas, that
he has statistically documented in the period since 2005. I should mention that
2005 was the very first year in which Dr. Tobey examined me inside his ENT
medical clinic in northwest Austin.
Prior to that, a Dr. Mueller (ENT medical specialist based at Medical Arts
Square near the UT-Austin Law School) statistically documented my hearing
capacity in the late 1990s and removed massive quantities of wax from each of my
ears during that medical appointment I had scheduled in advance with himself.
Dr. Mueller has since retired, from what I understand.
Dr. Tobey has helpfully emphasized to me inside his medical clinic in northwest
Austin that I myself am definitely NOT the source of the injurious noise
pollution, nor did I cause it or request it or generate it, Dr. Tobey has
helpfully pointed out.
I have provided written authorization to Dr. Tobey to discuss his medical
findings about me with any person or organization or government official or
attorney who might ever contact Dr. Tobey at any time.
Thank you in advance for your very kind interest in my own quality of life in
Austin, Texas.
Sincerely and Best Wishes,
John Kevin McMillan,

Dear Culturally Influential and Ethics-Minded American Civic Leaders,
I would appreciate receiving a reply letter from ANY of you individuals who,
like me, strongly believe that no media company and no corporation---no matter
how powerful or financially successful it may be---should have the legal right
to inflict significant permanent hearing loss, and the additional risk of
deafness as well, on an American citizen (myself, for instance) in a context
violating that American citizen's privacy rights.
Thank you in advance for your very kind interest in this public-policy issue and
legal issue in American society of today.
I should mention, incidentally, that one private attorney in Austin, Texas, whom
I've recently consulted about this did state to me last month inside his law
office that he is very sure that I've been victimized by noise pollution
violating my privacy rights----noise pollution, he emphasized, that comprises
illegal and criminal activity on the part of the individual or individuals
perpetrating that noise pollution on myself, he stated.
The same litigation-minded private attorney emphasized to me during the
one-to-one legal consultation I had with him inside his law office near downtown
Austin, that a civil-law lawsuit on my behalf can also be filed in a court of
law in Austin, Texas, against the alleged source of that noise pollution,
provided that a cited culprit or "respondent" could be cited by name in that
lawsuit, that private attorney informed me.
I would appreciate any information that any of you are willing to share with me
about the alleged source of the flagrantly illegal noise pollution victimizing
myself in Austin, Texas, on a continuous and year-round basis ever since I moved
back to Austin in mid-March of 1997, most recently.

Dear Federal Trade Commission Officials in Washington, D.C.,
Is there any circumstance in which your federal agency would pursue legal
actions, such as a lawsuit in a court of law, to lawfully and in a civil manner
prevent or stop a business entity (such as an unethical media company, for
instance) from inflicting medically injurious noise pollution on an American
citizen (myself, for instance) against his wishes in a context that violated
his own privacy rights.

specialist in Austin, Texas, who has helpfully evaluated my hearing capacity and
medical health on several occasions since 2005. Dr. Tobey has determined, with
help from statistical reports about my hearing capacity that he has compiled,
that permanent and irreversible damage to my hearing capacity and medical health
from continuous, year-round noise pollution in Austin, Texas, during that
multi-year period since 2005 has been significant in nature, Dr. Tobey has
informed me. Dr. Tobey has also recently stated to me in person inside his
medical clinic, during a medical examination of me, that permanent damage to my
own hearing capacity and medical health resulting from my involuntary exposure
to noise pollution in Austin, Texas, has been of the magnitude that an officer
of the Austin Police Department in Austin, Texas, would himself sustain over the
course of his entire career with that municipal law-enforcement agency.
Dr. Tobey ---- whose medical internship was in Boston, Mass. ---- has helpfully
stated to me during medical examinations of me in recent years that he is very
sure that I myself did NOT authorize the cited noise pollution, nor did I
request it, nor did I generate it myself in any way, Dr. Tobey has helpfully
assured me in person inside his medical clinic in northwest Austin.

Dear State Senator Watson,
I would like to remind you, Senator, that you have not yet acknowledged or sent me a reply note in response to the following one total public-policy question that I have posed to yourself relating to the continuous, year-round, medically injurious noise pollution in Austin, Texas, to which I have been subjected against my wishes for decades.
I wish to again emphasize to you, Senator, that a nationally renowned ear, nose, and throat medical specialist in Austin, Dr. David Tobey, has informed me during a recent medical appointment I had with him that permanent damage to my own hearing capacity and medical health from that noise pollution I myself did not generate or authorize has been significant and very alarmingly injurious in nature toward myself.
Please respond to this as soon as possible in your role as a distinguished State Senator who is also yourself a private attorney member of the State Bar of Texas.
Sincerely,
John Kevin McMillan, an honest and consistently civil, single adult male constituent of yours who is myself a law-abiding, gainfully-employed, fully ambulatory and HIV-negative (I being a member of the HIV-negative community comprising all Austinites, all Texans, and all Americans fitting that very important self-description), psychologically healthy, tobacco-free, alcohol-free and non-alcoholic, illicit-drug-free, anti-drug, and never-previously-addicted, facially cleanshaven and with no facial hair myself, clean-talking, non-stalking, anti-thought-control, anti-spying, anti-verbal harassment, anti-anonymous-communications, anti-brainwashing, anti-fraudulent-communications, anti-profane-communications, non-Christian, non-Unitarian, non-Judaistic,non-Mormon, non-Quaker, non-MCC, implicitly deistic and modern religious gentleman and founder myself of the one-member (myself only, at present) Progressive Prohibitionist Religion, a new and fully independent religion opposing anonymous communications and thought-control projects that has very strict membership-eligibility requirements for my own Progressive Prohibitionist religion.

A courtesy carbon-copy to each of you governmental leaders and civic leaders on the following E-mail correspondence of mine about medically injurious noise pollution inflicted on myself against my wishes in Austin, Texas (in Travis as well as Williamson counties), for which no alleged source of that continuous and year-round noise pollution has ever been identified to me at any time by ANY City of Austin official, ANY Travis County Government official, ANY Williamson County Government official, ANY State Government of Texas official, or ANY U.S. Government official. Nor has any media company or religious group or political group ever provided me with that very important factual information.
One private attorney member of the State Bar of Texas, himself a very distinguished alumnus of the University of South Texas Law School in Houston, did helpfully inform me in a recent prior week that he believes I have myself been victimized by illegal noise pollution in Austin, Texas, that comprises a violation of the state penal code of Texas, that courageously insightful private attorney helpfully informed myself. I am very grateful to that first-rate attorney for also emphasizing to me that in addition to my filing criminal charges in this matter, I have the legal right to myself also file a lawsuit in a court of law in Texas (and elsewhere, I would assume) against the alleged source of that unwanted noise pollution victimizing myself.
I would appreciate any reply letter from any of you in which you provide me with any information or impressions you are willing to share with me in regard to this very important legal and human-rights matter for myself. For instance: WHICH MEDIA COMPANY or other media organization, such as a non-profit group of any type, do YOU yourself suspect is the most likely to have subjected me in my own life to continuous and year-round and medically injurious noise pollution that I definitely DO NOT want in my own life.
Sincerely and Best Wishes from a teetotaling (no alcohol), tobacco-free, consistently civil and law-abiding (I have no criminal-conviction record, in fact, as the Texas Department of Public Safety has helpfully confirmed for me in the last few years), non-stalking, clean-talking, honest, tattoo-less, facially-cleanshaven, gainfully employed, fully ambulatory, single adult non-Christian gentleman in Austin, Texas, who myself fervently opposes thought-control projects, brainwashing projects, and violations of the privacy rights of benevolent and law-abiding Americans such as myself.

Dear State Senator Watson,
In your role as my duly elected state senator, do you yourself know or sense that you have possibly identified the alleged source of the continuous and year-round noise pollution (cited below in legal correspondence from myself) that has severely and permanently damaged my own hearing capacity and medical health, and that puts me at risk of "going deaf" in Austin, Texas, in the foreseeable future.
I should emphasize to you, Senator Watson, that I myself did NOT authorize the cited noise pollution, nor did I generate it, nor am I the source of the cited noise pollution that has significantly injured myself in Austin, Texas, over a multi-year period, including this year. I definitely do NOT want the cited noise pollution in my own life, as you are no doubt very aware.
Thank you in advance, Senator Watson, for your prompt response to this follow-up question from myself. I am posing this question to you because my duly elected state representative, Rep. Donna Howard, informed me in writing (see below) through one of her top legislative staff members, Scott Daigle, that she herself does not know the source of the noise pollution violating my privacy rights about which I have complained to Rep. Howard on numerous occasions.
Sincerely and Best Wishes,

Dear Very Distinguished and Influential Officials of the American Academy of Audiology,
I would appreciate any reply letter from any of you officials about this very important human-rights issue relating to permanent and significant hearing loss inflicted on me by year-round, continuous noise pollution occurring against my wishes and without my consent over a multi-decade period, including at present, in Austin, Texas.
Just this morning, for instance, I suffered a ringing sound in my left ear when I awoke from my sleep inside my very nice apartment unit in northwest Austin.
Please note the cited medical findings (see below) from Dr. David Tobey, a nationally renowned ear, nose, and throat medical specialist in Austin, about the noise pollution-inflicted damage to my medical health in Austin, Texas, that he has statistically documented in the period since 2005. I should mention that 2005 was the very first year in which Dr. Tobey examined me inside his ENT medical clinic in northwest Austin.
Prior to that, a Dr. Mueller (ENT medical specialist based at Medical Arts Square near the UT-Austin Law School) statistically documented my hearing capacity in the late 1990s and removed massive quantities of wax from each of my ears during that medical appointment I had scheduled in advance with himself. Dr. Mueller has since retired, from what I understand.
Dr. Tobey has helpfully emphasized to me inside his medical clinic in northwest Austin that I myself am definitely NOT the source of the injurious noise pollution, nor did I cause it or request it or generate it, Dr. Tobey has helpfully pointed out.
I have provided written authorization to Dr. Tobey to discuss his medical findings about me with any person or organization or government official or attorney who might ever contact Dr. Tobey at any time.
Thank you in advance for your very kind interest in my own quality of life in Austin, Texas.
Sincerely and Best Wishes,
John Kevin McMillan,

Dear Culturally Influential and Ethics-Minded American Civic Leaders,
I would appreciate receiving a reply letter from ANY of you individuals who, like me, strongly believe that no media company and no corporation---no matter how powerful or financially successful it may be---should have the legal right to inflict significant permanent hearing loss, and the additional risk of deafness as well, on an American citizen (myself, for instance) in a context violating that American citizen's privacy rights.
Thank you in advance for your very kind interest in this public-policy issue and legal issue in American society of today.
I should mention, incidentally, that one private attorney in Austin, Texas, whom I've recently consulted about this did state to me last month inside his law office that he is very sure that I've been victimized by noise pollution violating my privacy rights----noise pollution, he emphasized, that comprises illegal and criminal activity on the part of the individual or individuals perpetrating that noise pollution on myself, he stated.
The same litigation-minded private attorney emphasized to me during the one-to-one legal consultation I had with him inside his law office near downtown Austin, that a civil-law lawsuit on my behalf can also be filed in a court of law in Austin, Texas, against the alleged source of that noise pollution, provided that a cited culprit or "respondent" could be cited by name in that lawsuit, that private attorney informed me.
I would appreciate any information that any of you are willing to share with me about the alleged source of the flagrantly illegal noise pollution victimizing myself in Austin, Texas, on a continuous and year-round basis ever since I moved back to Austin in mid-March of 1997, most recently.

Dr. Tobey has also recently stated to me in person inside his medical clinic, during a medical examination of me, that permanent damage to my own hearing capacity and medical health resulting from my involuntary exposure to noise pollution in Austin, Texas, has been of the magnitude that an officer of the Austin Police Department in Austin, Texas, would himself sustain over the course of his entire career with that municipal law-enforcement agency.
Dr. Tobey ---- whose medical internship was in Boston, Mass. ---- has helpfully stated to me during medical examinations of me in recent years that he is very sure that I myself did NOT authorize the cited noise pollution, nor did I request it, nor did I generate it myself in any way, Dr. Tobey has helpfully assured me in person inside his medical clinic in northwest Austin.

Thank you in advance for your very kind interest in my own quality of life in Austin, Texas.
Sincerely and Best Wishes,
John Kevin McMillan,

Subject: 3-12-11 note re: my legal complaint to FTC
Dear Culturally Influential and Ethics-Minded American Civic Leaders,
I would appreciate receiving a reply letter from ANY of you individuals who, like me, strongly believe that no media company and no corporation---no matter how powerful or financially successful it may be---should have the legal right to inflict significant permanent hearing loss, and the additional risk of deafness as well, on an American citizen (myself, for instance) in a context violating that American citizen's privacy rights.
Thank you in advance for your very kind interest in this public-policy issue and legal issue in American society of today.
I should mention, incidentally, that one private attorney in Austin, Texas, whom I've recently consulted about this did state to me last month inside his law office that he is very sure that I've been victimized by noise pollution violating my privacy rights----noise pollution, he emphasized, that comprises illegal and criminal activity on the part of the individual or individuals perpetrating that noise pollution on myself, he stated.
The same litigation-minded private attorney emphasized to me during the one-to-one legal consultation I had with him inside his law office near downtown Austin, that a civil-law lawsuit on my behalf can also be filed in a court of law in Austin, Texas, against the alleged source of that noise pollution, provided that a cited culprit or "respondent" could be cited by name in that lawsuit, that private attorney informed me.
I would appreciate any information that any of you are willing to share with me about the alleged source of the flagrantly illegal noise pollution victimizing myself in Austin, Texas, on a continuous and year-round basis ever since I moved back to Austin in mid-March of 1997, most recently.
Best Wishes,
John Kevin McMillan.

Dear Federal Trade Commission Officials in Washington, D.C.,
I have been very disappointed by your federal agency's failure to send me any reply note or reply letter in response to the following (see below) politely-worded letter I wrote and sent to your U.S. Government agency on March 5, 2011.
I would appreciate receiving a reply letter from your very influential federal agency as soon as possible about this legal-liability matter facing your federal agency and the United States Government.
Sincerely,

Subject: 3-5-11 legal complaint-related question to Federal Trade Commission
Dear Federal Trade Commission Officials in Washington, D.C.,
Is there any circumstance in which your federal agency would pursue legal actions, such as a lawsuit in a court of law, to lawfully and in a civil manner prevent or stop a business entity (such as an unethical media company, for instance) from inflicting medically injurious noise pollution on an American citizen (myself, for instance) against his wishes in a context that violated his own privacy rights.
Sincerely and Best Wishes,
noise pollution victim and longtime Texas resident John Kevin McMillan of Austin, Texas. I have most recently resided inside Austin proper on a continuous basis ever since mid-March of 1997; and I have resided inside Texas ever since January 1988, when I moved back to Texas from Quincy, Massachusetts.
My mailing address: 11411 Research Boulevard, Apt. 325, Austin, Texas, 78759.
Home phone: (512) 342-2295.
cc: Dr. David Tobey, a nationally renowned ear, nose, and throat medical specialist in Austin, Texas, who has helpfully evaluated my hearing capacity and medical health on several occasions since 2005. Dr. Tobey has determined, with help from statistical reports about my hearing capacity that he has compiled, that permanent and irreversible damage to my hearing capacity and medical health from continuous, year-round noise pollution in Austin, Texas, during that multi-year period since 2005 has been significant in nature, Dr. Tobey has informed me. Dr. Tobey has also recently stated to me in person inside his medical clinic, during a medical examination of me, that permanent damage to my own hearing capacity and medical health resulting from my involuntary exposure to noise pollution in Austin, Texas, has been of the magnitude that an officer of the Austin Police Department in Austin, Texas, would himself sustain over the course of his entire career with that municipal law-enforcement agency.
Dr. Tobey ---- whose medical internship was in Boston, Mass. ---- has helpfully stated to me during medical examinations of me in recent years that he is very sure that I myself did NOT authorize the cited noise pollution, nor did I request it, nor did I generate it myself in any way, Dr. Tobey has helpfully assured me in person inside his medical clinic in northwest Austin.

Subject: 4-1-11 reply to Neb. Atty General Bruning re noise pollution in TX
To: Nebraska Attorney General Jon Bruning, Office of the Attorney General of Nebraska, Lincoln.
April 1, 2011
Dear Nebraska Attorney General Bruning in Lincoln, Nebraska,
As a proud native of your widely-admired capital city of Lincoln, I want to thank you for taking the time to write me an encouraging reply letter (below).
Your reply E-mail letter was apparently in response to E-mail correspondence from me I recently shared with you relating to medically injurious and unwanted noise pollution to which I have been subjected in Austin, Texas, on a continuous and year-round basis.
So far, the Attorney General of Texas has not expressed any concern to me in writing about the significant permanent and irreversible medical damage to my hearing capacity resulting from that continuous background noise pollution over a multi-decade period in Austin, Texas, including at each and every one of my workplaces in Austin and Cedar Park during that period, that I myself DID NOT and DO NOT generate or request or authorize or want in my own life. I lead a very quiet life in Austin, and I NEVER attend rock-music or punk-rock music concerts, for instance. In fact, I only rarely listen to music of any type during my leisuretime.
No state agency or State of Texas-owned institution, and no other government-owned or government-affiliated institution or organization of any type, has ever acknowledged to me at any time that it had any role of any type in sponsoring or permitting or authorizing or causing or inflicting or perpetrating the injurious noise pollution in Austin that has been very harmful to myself and my medical health over a multi-decade period.
However, I remain very hopeful that the Consumer Protection Division or Victim Services Division of the Office of the Attorney General of Texas state agency in Austin, Texas, will in the near future send me a reply letter providing me with helpful factual information and expressing an interest in this legal-liability matter facing the State Government of Texas, the City Government of Austin, Travis County Government, Williamson County Government, the City Government of Cedar Park, and the U.S. Government as well.
Sincerely and Best Wishes,
John Kevin McMillan, a former full-time employee in Austin for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles, and the Texas Department of Public Safety state agencies, respectively.

Dear John:
Thank you for taking the time to contact our office. We are sorry to hear about the frustrations you are going through.

By law our office isn’t authorized to provide legal assistance to private individuals such as yourself. Our office functions as legal advisor to the state, the legislature and various state agencies, boards and commissions.
If you wish to pursue this matter further, you will need to contact a private attorney in Texas who will be able to assist you.
We appreciate your interest and concern in contacting our office.
Sincerely,
JON BRUNING
