He questions the federal government's right to supervise pricing of gas produced on state lands and gas used entirely within Texas. Hill argues Texas reserved public lands upon statehood and warns that if the government can regulate in-state gas pricing, it could set a precedent for other commodities. He spoke in San Antonio, Abilene, San Angelo and Austin.
