Tillman had been a supporter of “responsible drilling” when the industry came to his town where he had built his “dream home.” However, due to the impact of fracking and the significant impact to the town of Dish, Texas his children experienced health problems and his property rights were trampled. As he said, “My dream was taken from me.”
