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

kristi noem headshot May 21 2014Washington, D.C. – 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.”

  1. It was during one of those Saturday morning basketball games,.
    Getting together to watch awesome game the coffee shop, restaurant or sports bar
    has never been easier thanks to live soccer streaming and this amazing software.
    FIFA Manager 10 features a surprisingly low minimum system specification, especially considering the much high requirements of the
    FIFA 10 arcade soccer game.

    1. Yes, starting with this: ‘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.’

      Roads and rails in SD crowded with oil transit? Revenue for cash strapped SD counties? This is all BS and hyperbole. How much revenue are SD counties receiving from the first Keystone pipeline installed several years ago? I’d love to see Kristi get the answer to that question and then let us know.

  5. Anonymous,

    If we give you facts on crowded rails and the taxes to be paid to the districts on the route, will you change your mind?

    I am going to out on a limb and say no.

    1. Start with supplying data on how ‘revenue’ being generated by the first Keystone pipeline. I am going out on a limb and guess that’s something you would do; however, when you conclude the research, you won’t want to release the results.
