Valenzuela unveils latest anti-oil proposal
May 20, 2020
On a livestream this week, Candace Valenzuela announced her latest idea to kill energy jobs in Texas – allow municipalities to overrule state and federal laws.
Valenzuela told supporters that local communities should have control over fracking laws and that “the government” shouldn’t be allowed to overrule them (never mind Texas’ preemption law or the Supremacy Clause of the US Constitution).
But what else would you expect from a candidate who has called for a ban on oil and gas development?
