USA - "They" can be beaten
Bainter also took on those who wanted to add fluoride to the city's drinking water in 2004. Bainter believes the information she obtained about the costs involved and the risks associated with adding fluoride helped defeat the initiative.
Voters rejected it by a vote of 8,084 to 7,563.
"You know the people supporting putting fluoride in the water outspent us 10 to 1," Bainter said. "But I think the people listened to us and decided we were right."
As for sitting back and watching the battles from the sidelines, Bainter said sitting back and watching the battles from the sidelines isn't for her.
"Politicians are elected to represent the people, and when they don't, we need to remind them," Bainter said.
