During a recent government meeting, citizens voiced their concerns regarding local governance and community issues. One speaker, advocating for accountability, urged that the mayor be held liable for decisions related to water fluoridation, suggesting that citizens should not need to petition for change but rather confront the mayor directly about potential health risks associated with the practice.

The meeting also included a poignant moment when Victoria Ferrer, a concerned citizen, requested a moment of silence to honor a young man who tragically lost his life over the weekend. Although the request for a formal moment of silence was met with procedural hesitations due to the lack of permission from the deceased's family, Ferrer encouraged attendees to reflect quietly in solidarity.

Additionally, Ferrer expressed gratitude for the mention of the 988 mental health crisis hotline, indicating a community interest in mental health resources. The meeting highlighted the intersection of local governance, public health, and community support, reflecting the citizens' desire for greater accountability and compassion in their local leadership.
