The anti-fluoride people are local. There are a few that live in Sequim, but they have ties and family in town. I don't know what "out of town" group you are talking about, but it definitely wasn't anti-fluoride. 

Delta Dental pumped a TON of money into keeping this issue going. 

It doesn't sound like you know what you're talking about. It sounds like you're parroting someone else. Maybe get your facts straight.
