States rights always drags out the socialist bums

(ANTIMEDIA) In a peremptory case of government acting as oil industry legislator, Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed into law a prohibition on fracking bans — completely undermining one town’s hard-won ordinance to protect its citizens’ health and safety. Effective immediately, no city or town in the entire state will be able to “ban, limit, or otherwise regulate” any“commercially reasonable” industry practice — with “reasonable” being determined by government and the industry, itself.

Greg Abbott is the usual socialist pig.  How is this socialist any different than Jerry Brown who lets unions control local democracy in San Diego?    We are stuck, democracy is losing out.  Always push to dis-aggregate, move power to more local control.
