Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne wants the Keystone XL Pipeline project approved ASAP, citing its supposed benefits in a petition to the Obama Administration.
Horne and 20 other state attorneys general have sent a petition to Secretary of State John Kerry urging the project’s approval. But the move seems to be more about showing support for Republicans than any enthusiasm toward the project.
Horne’s office didn’t issue any news release about the August 9 petition and declined to comment on the matter. The office required a couple of days to locate it a copy of the petition for public release.
