text: As long as your billboards are honest and state that the Port Angeles water has been augmented with additional fluoride for the purpose of preventing dental decay in the entire population, then a billboard sounds like an outstanding idea, and a real plus for tourism.  With 74.5% of the US fluoridated, obviously, tourists will understand the importance of fluoridation and will commend the city leaders for their diligence and concern for the health and well-being of their citizenry.
  
  Putting up billboards with the usual array of misinformation from antifluoridationists, however, will convey to tourists an atmosphere of dishonesty and backwardness within the community.......something no community should want to convey.
