GLENDIVE, MONT. (AP) — Supporters outnumbered opponents at an eastern Montana meeting held to take public comment on a proposed pipeline that would carry Canadian crude to oil refineries in Texas. The route comes through eastern Smith County. Proponents said TransCanada’s Keystone XL pipeline would create up to 20,000 jobs. Opponents argued the job numbers are inflated and the risks of environmental damage are high.
