Town rejects flouride, 135-8

Voters in Wakefield have rejected adding fluoride to their town's water supply.

During a special election Tuesday, 135 votes were cast in favor of prohibiting fluoride being added to the water supply, while only eight votes supported adding it, said a spokeswoman at the Dixon County courthouse.

Last November, voters approved adding fluoride by a narrow margin. Afterward, many voters said they found the ballot language confusing and asked for another vote.
