USA - Corning City Council votes 7-1 to fluoridate water
CORNING -- With $100,000 promised by fluoride proponents, the Corning City Council voted 7-1 Monday to proceed with fluoridation of the city's water supply.
"This thing has been beat to death," said Mayor Frank Coccho.
The vote confirmed a November decision to fluoridate the city's water if supporters could come up with $100,000, or about half the initial cost of $196,000.Former Corning dentist Dr. Thomas Curran of Elmira said Monday the fundraising effort had reached its goal. Curran refused to identify any of the donors, but said half the money came from within the city of Corning and half from outside sources.None of the funds came from Corning Inc., the region's largest employer, Curran said.
Fluoridation will increase city water bills by about 1 to 2 percent, City Manager Mark Ryckman estimated............
I bet they could have got all of the money needed for the start up.
