USA Makes a change a pro fluoride gets the push

New Bedford Mayor Scott W. Lang insists that he did not fire the city's commissioner of health and human services over the fluoride issue, but others close to the controversy have their doubts.
Board of Health Chairwoman Patricia Andrade said he informed her of his decision to fire Robert F. Davis during the same conversation in which he told her he is opposed to adding fluoride to city water to fight serious and widespread dental problems in New Bedford children. Mayor Lang denied covering the two subjects in the same conversation and said it wasn't fluoride, but a series of disagreements about Mr. Davis' leadership that prompted the dismissal.
