State rejects complaint against anti-fluoride PAC BY PAUL GOTTLIEB PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
PORT ANGELES — The state Public Disclosure Commission has rejected a complaint alleging that the anti-fluoridation group Our Water, Our Choice! exceeded spending limits in its fight against
the city of Port Angeles’ fluoridation of the municipal water supply. Portland, Ore., dentist Kurt Ferre, treasurer of the Portland, Ore.-based, pro-fluoride American Fluoridation Society, filed the protest April 15 alleging that the political action committee exceeded limits allowed under the
PDC’s mini-reporting requirements. Under mini-reporting, a group is not required to file detailed reports of contributions and expenditures if it generates $5,000 or less in contributions, $5,000 or less in expenditures and $500 or less in contributions from
any single source. “There is no reason to believe a material violation of any law under the commission’s jurisdiction has occurred,” Evelyn Fielding Lopez, PDC executive director, said Wednesday in an email to Ferre. Eloise Kailin TURN TO FLUORIDE/A7 President, Our Water Our Choice!

PORT ANGELES –– City residents and leaders are preparing a welcoming ceremony for a Chattanooga, Tenn., man who expects to land in Port Angeles on Sunday with a thankyou banner. James Howard, a radio and television personality in Chattanooga, will pilot a one-yearanniversary memorial flight to Port Angeles, starting Saturday, in honor of five military servicemen killed by a lone shooter in Chattanooga last year. Howard is bringing with him a banner signed by the Chattanooga City Council and hundreds of other people thanking Port Angeles for its support after the attack last year. “It’s going to be a somber day for Chattanooga on Saturday,” he said. “I’m just glad to be doing this trip and thanking Port Angeles for keeping us in Chattanooga strong.” Howard and his crew plan to touch down at William R. Fairchild International Airport at about noon Sunday, although weather could delay the flight into the early evening, he said. City officials are inviting the public to come out to help welcome him.
Expressed sympathy Shortly after the shooting, Revitalize Port Angeles founder Leslie Robertson spearheaded an effort to collect signatures and messages of sympathy on banners and traveled to Chattanooga to present them to the Tennessee city. “The people I’ve come in contact with that have signed the banner, it meant so much to Chattanoogans here just to see that gesture, friendliness,” Howard said. “It meant a lot. Our city is still healing.” TURN
