Nov 6 (Reuters) - Nebraska Governor Pete Ricketts, a
Republican, said U.S. President Barack Obama's rejection of the
proposed Keystone XL oil pipeline put at risk jobs and tax
revenue which would have boosted the state.
Obama on Friday rejected the proposed Keystone XL oil
pipeline from Canada. The pipeline had been planned to go
through Nebraska en route to refineries and ports along the U.S.

"Keystone XL would have brought good-paying jobs and
much-needed tax revenue to Nebraska's counties," said Governor
Pete Ricketts, in a statement. "President Obama's
politically-motivated decision to reject this project puts the
jobs and this tax revenue at risk."
