JONES DECRIES OBAMA'S REJECTION OF KEYSTONE XL PIPELINE

WASHINGTON, D.C. – In the aftermath of President Barack Obama’s decision to block approval of the Keystone XL Pipeline, Congressman Jones issued the following statement:

“It is incomprehensible for this president to spend so much time talking about jobs, and then to reject a proposal that would create thousands of jobs.  Americans are tired of the lip service; we want action.  Keystone XL has been studied to death. Even the president’s own State Department has twice determined that the project would have “no significant impacts” on the environment.  It’s time for the president to stop the excuses and start creating jobs.”
