The Brevard County Commission appear to have accidentally approved the removal of fluoride from the Mims water supply.
In a snap vote Tuesday, commissioners unanimously approved a request from Commission Chair Rita Pritchett, permitting her to begin halting the addition of fluoride at the county-run water treatment facility in her North Brevard district.
The problem was: no one seemed to realize exactly what they were voting on.
Three commissioners told FLORIDA TODAY they thought they were voting to bring the item back for board discussion. Another, who said he
understood the motion, voted in favor despite being uncertain
They found the DUIs, to my understanding, as well as various infractions, did in fact go up, Lober said at the meeting.
Then-Cape Coral Police Chief David Newlan said the program led to more service calls in the city during the extended hours and higher costs for officer overtime pay, the News-Press reported in 2018.
Commissioner John Tobia, who proposed repealing the sales restrictions, pooh-poohed Lober s example, calling it at best, anecdotal. I appreciate Commissioner Lober trying to find an answer to a problem that really didn t exist until he brought it up, Tobia said. Lacking any data to support this, I would like to move forward with the motion.

A February shooting threat phoned into the offices of the Brevard County Commission was traced to a prepaid cell phone in California, according to a Brevard County Sheriff s Office case report.
The 714 number was attached to a TracFone Wireless account registered in Tustin, a small city of about 80,000 people outside Los Angeles in southern California, according to the report.
Brevard investigators turned the case over to the Orange Police Department, a municipal department in the city of Orange, north of Tustin, in late February.
The status of the case was not known Wednesday. Representatives for Orange police did not respond to requests for comment. Messages to the Brevard County Sheriff s Office seeking additional information were not immediately returned.
