U.S. Congressman Marlin Stutzman issued the following statement in reaction to President Obama's rejection of the Keystone XL Pipeline.
"President Obama's short-sighted decision to reject the Keystone pipeline is another unfortunate departure from common sense for this administration. This is an enormous missed opportunity for jobs and the economy. Instead of dragging his feet for seven years on this issue, President Obama should have spent seven years supporting America's energy renaissance, reducing taxes on small businesses and families, and addressing the now expected $20 trillion national debt Americans will face when he leaves office."
