Only we can correct the problem
In the March 10 “Sound Off,” it discusses what people had to say about the possible fluoridation being introduced into our water supply. One response in particular was very insightful. It mentioned the response of the water board members who are wearing two political hats in Suisun City (March 6, “Council votes to apply for Priority Development Area grant”).
When asked about the concern to the safety of the residents about how safe fluoride introduction really is, these two-hat-wearing board member gave a very smug response. How also earlier in the week this same two-hat board member, while wearing his other hat as mayor, responded to an email from a voting constituent (March 3, “Why are we having fluoride debate?”), that “save your time. I delete everything you email me anyway. I never read them.”
Since this is how we the people are actually viewed by him, let me remind you that only we can correct the problem. If we, as a voting populace, are frustrated and feel we are not being represented properly by the officials we elected to office, then we, as a voting constituency, can simply do the same thing they did in a little town in Southern California and vote them out of office and ” hire” somebody else we feel can represent us as promised.
Does that ring a “Bell?”

The letter writer conveniently forgot to mention that Mr. Kent, the first letter writer unhappy with my e-mail response, is in fact a Fairfield resident . I represent citizens of Suisun City in the Suisun-Solano Water Authority. If Mr. Kent is furious about fluoride, he should e-mail his Fairfield Mayor and complain about it .

The idea that a community would unelect a perfectly good council member or mayor over flouridation is nuts. Unless you don't like them anyway...but why should anyone listen then? Tell us your real issues.

you! You're another Californian who cant seem to understand they are driving costs UP with this and their science is JUNK SCIENCE.

The costs are trivial. If fluordation does half the good it's supposed to do, even more so.

I agree with rlw. If someone was elected to make decisions for voters, isn't it kind of childish to want to recall them if some citizens aren't happy with some decisions? Isn't that why there are elections every four years? If they do something illegal or ethically repugnant, that would be worthy of a recall.

If I came to you with a syringe you would want to know what was in the syringe (I hope). I said just trust me I have been elected so let me inject you with a chemical that I was told is good for you. Do the research there is no excuse for ignorance. 98% of Europe has rejected Fluoride & many other nations.
