Citizens in Charge

Crescent City voters will once again have their chance to weigh in on whether they want fluoride in their municipal water supply. An initiative spearheaded by local residents Katherine Kelly and Connie Morrison ”” who lives in the county ”” to remove fluoride from the city’s water barely received enough support to be placed on the Nov. 2, 2010, ballot.

Crescent City is poised to sue Council member Donna Westfall and some of her supporters should their initiative to roll back sewer rates to October 2007 levels succeed in being placed on an upcoming ballot. The Crescent City Council made its decision to pursue litigation that challenges the legality of the initiative with a 4-0 vote Monday during the closed session portion of its regularly scheduled meeting that Westfall did not attend.
