Don't blame us, we didn't vote for it. Hippies.

Approved by 18%, I wonder did they know the mayor was willing to throw 4 million of the cities funds down the toilet?

The local community should be able to set its own laws and rules as regards land uses. This is not good for smaller more local government.

Denton is the “Berkeley” of North Texas.

And it’s written all over the face of the daughter
Of the mayor of Marble Falls
When she winds up in Denton town doing the Valium waltz

“... area residents have complained of health problems they say are tied to hydrocarbon extraction.”

Then I suggest they move.

California has areas with oil derricks but homes aren't located nearby. Anyone with commonsense knows that you leave such an area.

Denton is 88 square miles. Texas is 270,000 square miles.

I don’t think the ban, even if it stands, will make much difference.

In Texas, we’re not into this “local thing”, where some leftist local town decides to “make a statement”.

If we allowed ourselves to get walked on regarding drilling, then we’d have to do the same when Denton and Austin outlaw possession of firearms...is there any difference?
