Miami-Dade commissioners voted Tuesday to remove fluoride from public drinking water.
However, it’s unclear if Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava will veto the legislation.
According to the Miami Herald, Cava “supports keeping fluoride in tap water.”
With nearly 2.7 million residents, Miami-Dade is the most populated county in the Sunshine State.
