“This is a victory for the citizens of the city of Denton, for our families, for our health, for our homes and for our future. This ban is the voice of the citizens of Denton speaking directly to the fracking industry, and local, state and national government: WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH. So try to overturn it if you will. But know that if you do, you are on the side of corporate interests and against the people.” Cathy McMullen, president of citizens group Frack Free Denton. (article)
