Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?

In Vermont, of all places, the the water superintendent for Richmond cut fluoride levels in the town drinking water without telling anyone.

According to him, a couple of people, anti-fluoride nut jobs no doubt, complained to him, and he reduced the levels for 3 years without telling anyone. 

First, fire him now.  Second, make sure that there is no unexplained deposits in his bank account, because this seems corrupt as hell:

An employee of the Town of Richmond may be in hot water for reducing the level of fluoride in the town’s drinking water for years without the public’s knowledge or the consent of town leaders.

Water superintendent Kendall Chamberlin, a 37-year worker, acknowledged during a September 19 meeting of the town’s Water and Sewer Commission that he lowered the fluoride level to less than half of what's recommended by the state due to his own safety concerns.

………

Chamberlin told commissioners he decided to reduce the levels several years ago because “a couple” of water system users told him they were against fluoridation and he preferred to be “ahead of the curve” when it comes to removing chemicals from the water supply.

………

A follow-up meeting is scheduled for Monday, and Chamberlin, who also sits on the Essex Selectboard, acknowledged he may face disciplinary action given the intense criticism he has received from the public on what he called a “hot-button issue.”

“I would expect that’s probably where they are headed,” Chamberlin told Seven Days on Wednesday, referring to the town’s five-member Water and Sewer Commission.

Fire him now.  Name and shame the people who pressured him.
