Town Board votes to continue fluoridation

Town Board voted 3-1 to continue fluoridating the Town's water supply. Also, trip money for the senior clubs and appointment of Town Attorney.

Town Board
January 22, 2013


The main item on the agenda was the Informational Hearing on whether to continue fluoridating the Town’s water supply.
 
After listening to Westchester County Commissioner of Health Sherlita Amler, several area dentists and residents and one person, a resident of Croton-on-Hudson, who spoke against fluoridation, the  Board closed the hearing and voted 3-1, with Councilman Paganelli voting no and Councilman Bianco not present, to continue to add fluoride to the Town’s water supply.

First of all, I don't understand why teachers are paying for anything out of pocket when the supplyRead More lists that parents receive at the end of the summer are as long as their arms. Secondly, SOCIETY lets the kids down?!?!? I think the school taxes in Yorktown should be sufficient so that the teachers don't have to pay any out-of-pocket expenses. SOCIETY does not let the kids down, it is those who are in control of the school tax monies who let the kids down. Perhaps the administrators should take salary cuts, or maybe we should even eliminate some of those administrative positions. No teacher should have to pay for supplies out of pocket.
