Fracking Ban Equals Private Property Rights Plus Local Control

Voters in Denton, along with other commuities in the US, passed a ban on fracking. This land use campaign trend will become a legal trend as the fracking ban quickly gets booted to the courts to resolve.

An opinion piece in the Dallas Morning News sums up the fracking ban as Denton residents’ desire to protect private property rights and assert local control. It also raises the possibility of legislation to overturn Denton’s vote.  [Opinion | Dallas Morning News]
