Sandpoint Mulls Fluoridation Issue

Item: Fluoridation question could turn up on city ballot/Conor Christofferson, Bonner County Bee
More Info: Sandpoint, like many communities in the United States, has added small amounts of fluoride to its water supply since the early 1950s. Endorsed by the American Dental Association and the Centers for Disease Control, the practice is meant to combat tooth decay. While pockets of local residents have protested the use of fluoride for years, it wasn’t until recently, when the Bonner County Republican Central Committee officially came out against the practice, that members of the City Council began toying with the idea of putting the issue to a vote.
Question: Are you surprised that the Sandpoint City Council would consider putting the issue of fluoridation on a municipal ballot, more than 50 years after adding fluoride to the water supply for more than 50 years?
