Comstock Calls President’s Veto of Keystone XL ‘Outrageous’

Washington, DC - Congresswoman Barbara Comstock (R-VA) issued the following statement on President Obama’s veto of the The Keystone XL Pipeline Approval Act:  

“It is outrageous that President Obama has vetoed the Keystone XL pipeline - a commonsense jobs-creating piece of legislation that was supported by a broad coalition including unions such as the Teamsters and LIUNA, the Tea Party, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and the Washington Post.  Hard-working Americans were hurt today by President Obama’s veto.  Keystone XL would have created thousands of shovel-ready jobs that would have put us on a path toward energy independence.”
