What next? I suppose if enough of the public is angry, upset or depressed by what happens Mr. Leonard (who makes all the decisions regarding our water supply, per recent quotes from the Water Bureau itself, which wasn't initially aware of the full extent of his agenda) will decide that we need Valium in our water. And - once again - we will probably have nothing to say about it.

It is my human right to control what I ingest especially when it comes to medications. For my city government to attempt to force me and the rest of the unwilling public of portland to take a controversial medication for a condition the vast majority of us don't have at a completely uncontrolled dose is authoritarian and frightening. For the city government to do this while ACTIVELY PREVENTING THE PUBLIC FROM HAVING INPUT is criminal and the people who are doing this will have a hard time living in Portland after this. There will be civil suits and hopefully a criminal investigation of how much money changed hands between Randy Leonard, Sam Adams, Nick Fish, and their partners in this plan to abruptly force an invasive, disgustingly arrogant policy on the public of Portland.

The power tripping bureaucrats who are pushing this through should all be criminally investigated to determine where money is changing hands to make this happen so quickly despite massive public outcry and a consistent historical record of Portlander's voting against fluoridation.

Government studies concluding that fluoride is dangerous or ineffective, Including studies from the CDC:

No one needs sugar or Aspartame for medical reasons, and they're bad for your health. Let people go out to McMinnville for their chocolate bars and soda.

@Todd - he did put that in writing.

So there's NOT A SINGLE PERSON in the city who might be adversely affected by exposure to more fluoride, regardless of medical condition? Will you put that in writing, Sam?

"Portlanders also have a right to collect signatures and bring the issue to the ballot," Sam says.

Yes, and rushing fluoridation through before that can happen will ensure that the maximum amount of public money is wasted if the citizens vote the way they have three times before. Nice plan.
