Noem Statement on President Obama's Veto of the Keystone XL Pipeline

Statement

Rep. Kristi Noem today issued the following statement after President Obama issued a veto on S.1, the Keystone XL Pipeline Approval Act -- a bill that passed both the House and Senate with bipartisan support:

"The President's veto on Keystone was a veto on jobs, revenue for cash-strapped South Dakota counties, and much-needed relief on the roads and rails that are currently crowded with oil transit. This pipeline is a commonsense place to start as we work toward a stronger energy economy, because it's a place where Republicans and Democrats, the House and the Senate, and the overwhelming majority of Americans can find common ground. But the President vetoed that opportunity. I am hopeful this is not the end of the road for the pipeline and remain committed to doing all I can to see Keystone through."
