Governor Greg Gianforte is affirming his support for restarting the Keystone XL Pipeline by meeting with Montanans directly affected by President Joe Biden s executive order halting the oil pipeline.
Gianforte made three stops in northern Montana on Friday, all focused on hearing directly from those impacted by Mr. Bidenâs decision.
The first stop was a pipe yard in Phillips County. Gianforte met with Marty Jorgensen, president of Barnard Pipeline, a company laying some of the pipeline through the state.
âThis year, for the first time in 46 years, weâll probably lay off 40-50 people,â said Jorgensen. âYou can drive from here to the border to Nebraska and stop at every little town along the way and you can find support for this project all the way through. Itâs devastating.â
