Build Montana will be good for state

As many as 2,000 temporary high paying blue collar jobs will be created in Montana if the U.S. government approves the much publicized Keystone XL pipeline. More than twice as many similar private sector construction jobs, however, will result from state government approval of the Build Montana program proposed by Democratic Governor Steve Bullock and sponsored in the Legislature by Republican Representative Jeff Welborn of Dillon.

The Montana proposal includes badly needed improvements in infrastructure in Montana’s end of the Bakken energy development, as well as 280 other needed and long delayed projects across our state. Our congressional delegation, representing both political parties, has wisely united behind Keystone, and our legislators need to unite in the same way behind our own program.
