USA - Petition against fluoride started in Hastings
Petition against fluoride started in Hastings
(6/26/2008) By Ginger ten Bensel - A Hastings group that is against putting fluoride in their drinking water has some concerns tonight.
The group which is called Nebraskans For Safe Water says come November voters will be confused with the wording of the issue on the ballot.
That is why the group is starting their own petition. The city council voted to put fluoridation on the November ballot.
But one group says the wording for the ballot does not explain what kind of fluoride is being considered to be placed in the drinking water.
That is why they have started to circulate a petition. They are looking to get three thousand signatures to change the wording.
Butch Hughes is involved with circulating the petition and he feels it is important to educate people even more about the proposal to add fluoride to the drinking water.
Hughes says he is concerned about the effects of the kind of fluoride being proposed.
Mayor Matt Rossen says they are using the proper language on the ballet.
Hughes and others held a meeting tonight in Hastings about the petition.
He says they plan to start circulating the petition this weekend. They want all the signatures collected by August 1st.
