Activist demands urgent action against fluoride in drinking water
During a recent government meeting, a heated discussion emerged regarding the presence of fluoride in drinking water, with a local resident passionately advocating for its removal. The speaker raised concerns about fluoride being a neurotoxin, claiming that a significant portion of the fluoride added to water in the United States originates from the Chinese Communist Party and the phosphate industry in Florida. They cited studies from the Fluoride Action Network, which reportedly involve around 5,000 scientists, asserting that fluoride exposure can lead to brain damage in children. The resident called for the issue to be placed on the agenda for further discussion and action, urging local authorities to take steps to eliminate fluoride from the water supply in Santa Rosa County.

In addition to the fluoride debate, another participant addressed the local option sales tax (LOST), clarifying its potential uses. Chris Kerr from Flood Defenders highlighted that funds from LOST can be allocated for staffing, specifically mentioning that project managers dedicated to local option sales tax projects can be compensated through these funds. He referenced practices in nearby Skamie County as a successful example of this approach.

The meeting underscored community concerns about public health and fiscal management, reflecting a growing demand for transparency and accountability in local governance.
