Future of fluoridated water once again on Rutland's Town Meeting Day ballot
www.vermontpublic.org
Rutland has been fluoridating its water for decades. The last time it was on the ballot, in 2016, voters chose to keep the fluoride in. But concerned residents have another opportunity to vote on the topic in March.

Rutland resident Jack Crowther has been a longtime critic.

“You’re putting a drug, a medicine, in our water to treat tooth decay without the informed consent of the people,” Crowther said.

“Mandrake, have you ever seen a commie drink a glass of water?” strangelove-wow

“THEY’RE PUTTING MEDICINE IN THE WATER!” frothingfash

Also related, a Richmond, VT waterworks employee secretly lowered fluoride levels in the town’s drinking supply for a decade.

EDIT: I should’ve updated this a month ago, but the town voted to keep fluoride.
