With the Trump administration’s long awaited approval of the Keystone XL pipeline today, over the objections of Sherrod Brown, the path is finally cleared for the creation of thousands of jobs in Ohio.

Now that the Trump administration has cleared the way for Keystone XL, will Sherrod Brown change his tune? Or will he continue to stand with extreme environmentalists and against Ohio jobs?
