Gov. Abbott Connects Fracking Ban to California-zation of Texas

Speaking to the Texas Public Policy Foundation, Governor-elect Abbott connected Denton’s fracking ban to the California-ization of Texas. His quotes:

• “Now think about it — few things are more important in Texas than private property rights. Yet some cities are telling citizens that you don’t own some of the things on your own property that you have bought and purchased and owned for a long time. Things like trees. This is a form of collectivism,” Abbott said.
• “My vision is one where individual liberties are not bound by city limit signs…”
