Lugar parries Waxman on Hoosier State pipeline interest
He noted two examples of Indiana residents building equipment that would be used on the project. “I have personally met with Hoosiers working in jobs that will directly benefit from Keystone XL,” Lugar writes.
In one case, Lugar said workers at Koontz-Wagner Electric Co. would
build controls for Siemens pumps that would move oil along the pipeline.
Waxman on Thursday sent a letter to a lobbyist for the state asking for a briefing, noting Indiana “does not have an obvious interest in seeing the Keystone XL project constructed.” We have more on Waxman’s letter here.
Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels (R), in delivering the GOP response to President Obama’s State of the Union address, criticized the president’s decision last month to reject a permit from the project.
