One of the most contentious issues on the special election May ballot is the municipal fluoridation measure in Portland. Last year we heard arguments on both sides of the debate — before the city council voted to approve fluoridation for Portland's water and before opponents gathered enough signatures to put the measure to a popular vote.

We'll check in with the yes and no campaigns as they head into the home stretch. Ballots are due May 21.

How are you deciding how to vote on whether to fluoridate Portland's water supply? If you haven't decided yet, what are you waiting to hear?
