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?"
"THEY'RE PUTTING MEDICINE IN THE WATER!"
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.
If anyone has weird hangups about fluoride or just likes longish internet slop I invite them to watch Angela Collier's explanation of what fluoride is, does, and the falsehoods surrounding the topic.
