President Trump just rolled back the WOTUS (Waters of the United States) ruling, redefining what is under federal control and what is under state control.

Alaska Senators Murkowski and Sullivan are pretty excited about this change; they believe it will help restore power back to the state and local landowners. However, this policy also received lashback as some senators believe that it will allow polluters more free reign.

This article reminded me of some local news that came out a while back: https://www.adn.com/features/alaska-life/2017/04/22/the-curious-popularity-of-a-water-pipe-on-the-seward-highway/
Basically, there's this pipe on the Seward highway (which runs across the coastline), and people go there to drink water and fill up water to store. Most people due it for the novelty, but some people actually get the majority of their drinking water from there because they don't trust the government, and they think that the federal government is removing healthy nutrients from the water and replacing it with fluoride. There was also someone running for a state house seat this year who firmly advocated against fluoride in the water.
