Hinton Votes on Fluoridation and City Levy
Hinton faces a special election Tuesday January 18 to decide fluoridation of the city water, a policy in effect since May 1953. Opponents led by Bellepoint Baptist Church critics cite fluoride as poison. Proponents say fluoridation cuts tooth decay and is safely used with chlorine in common practice. The same ballot asks about a $15,000 annual levy for three years to fund firefighting equipment and sewer mapping, which was narrowly defeated previously but is expected to pass now that excluded items reduce opposition.
