Thank you for detailed reporting of this meeting.

What a waste of time, money, & proven scientific information, the uninformed on this council insist upon presenting from their governing positions! Frustrating & sad!

The proposal should be drop kicked into the wastewater treatment plant. The attacks on public health measures are ideological and not based on data.

Absolutely! No matter how much scientific evidence presented to them, they insist they’re right!

Frustrating to keep hearing more and more anti-science based medical practices being challenged. Especially when we are seeing it being played out in the news daily with this measles outbreak, which has arrived yesterday to WA.

And all the city needs right now is to spend more money it doesn’t have on an advisory vote.

Buncha backwoods rubes who probably don’t go to the dentist, anyway. What a ridiculous waste of time.

Doubtful anyone on Council honestly believes fluoride in the water is a real problem. Thing is, the contrarians have staked out their position and gotta stick to it. To acknowledge they might be wrong---well, they just can't do that. Admitting a error takes courage.

Mr. Phillips perspective that this is ideological I think sums it up. If da guvment do's it---gotta be bad.

Keep the fluoride in---over here in the big"K" we occasionally buy H20 from ya'll.
