From Times Wire Reports
Opponents of water fluoridation filed a petition with election officials to stop the city from altering tap water.
The Santa Barbara County Clerk’s office certified that there are enough valid signatures on petitions turned in by Citizens for Safe Drinking Water to require an election on the issue. The group submitted 4,545 signatures to Santa Maria City Hall on Feb. 24. The ballot measure will probably appear in the November 2004 election.
