MILLER STATEMENT ON PRESIDENT OBAMA’S DISAPPROVAL OF THE KEYSTONE PIPELINE

2/24/2012

Jeff Miller (R-FL-1) today criticized the Administration’s decision to reject approval of the Keystone XL Pipeline:

“I am extremely disappointed in the President’s decision. At a time when Americans are facing a sluggish economy and nearly 9% unemployment, I find it inexplicable that the President would choose to prevent this project from moving forward.

The Keystone XL Pipeline could create upwards of 20,000 jobs and would be a much needed boost for the economy. I’m disappointed that this Administration has once again decided to put politics ahead of private sector economic stimulus for our country.”
