Sullivan Statement on President Obama’s Veto of Keystone XL Pipeline
WASHINGTON, DC – Senator Dan Sullivan (R-AK) released the following statement today on President Obama’s veto of the Keystone XL Pipeline Act.
“I’m profoundly disappointed that yet again, as he’s done in Alaska, President Obama chose to cater to his small, radical environmental constituency, rather than listen to the voice of most reasonable Americans,” said Sen. Sullivan. “Keystone would create good jobs and it would strengthen American energy security through responsible development. That’s why it had bipartisan and union support. Even the President’s own State Department said that the project ‘would support a combined total of approximately 42,100 average annual jobs.’”
“President Obama has talked a lot about helping working families across America. The project that the President just vetoed would have done that. Unfortunately, saying one thing to the American people, and doing another thing in D.C. is a pattern in this administration, one that Alaskans are all too familiar with.”
