Scottsbluff Considers Fluoridation Vote by Voters
Scottsbluff City Council reviews timing for a fluoride referendum after 828 valid signatures meet the 26 percent threshold. A special election would cost at least 2600, or 600 if on the November ballot, with a 50 day deadline and a January 1 state deadline for fluoridation unless rejected by voters. City Clerk Walter Ferguson expects under 1000 voters in a special election as discussions stretch to Sidney where Ed Bauman circulates a fluoridation petition.
