Washington, D.C.— Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) today released the following statement on President Obama’s veto of legislation approving the Keystone XL Pipeline:
“President Obama’s veto of a bipartisan bill approving the Keystone XL Pipeline is regrettable. But what’s more concerning is his continued tendency to put his liberal allies ahead of America’s best interests. Arkansans and all Americans deserve better. The Keystone XL Pipeline would lower energy costs for all Arkansans, create and sustain jobs at Welspun Tubular, and provide our businesses with much needed certainty. I will continue to put Arkansas workers and families first and advocate for approval of this important project.”
