Drinking water fluoridation is widely heralded as a public health triumph, but it’s had critics since it was pioneered 80 years ago in Grand Rapids.
What happens when someone's actually watching.
Planet Detroit is three reporters covering the environmental stories no one else will — no paywall, no corporate owner, no ads. This year, we exposed a decade-long fluoride cover-up in Wyandotte, were the only newsroom at the Zug Island air pollution trial, and broke the data center investigations that reached the Washington Post and the LA Times.
Reader support is how we stay here. A gift of any size — one-time or monthly — keeps someone watching.
