Yes, apparently Utah banned around a month ago. I must have missed that reporting too.

Honorable mention: Hawai’i refused to even enact a fluoride requirement in 1966 and it’s failed in the legislature ever since.

This is one of the bluest states in the entire nation. Would you like to know more?

Bonus Fact: Gov. Cox posed with Donvict Dementia last year at Arlington National Cemetery to campaign for votes over dead vets, endorsing donOLD Krasnov. Cox apologized for the vet desecration stunt, but not for endorsing the Tax Tariff Troll. Now kids have to get fluoride in other ways as the government chisels away at the things that actually make Utah great.
