I THINK THAT ON BALANCE THE ROSEMONT MINE WILL BE BENEFICIAL FOR TUCSON

The Rosemont Mine to be located south of Tucson is a matter of some controversy.  I recognize the environmental harms that could result from it.  I think that the benefits will outweigh the potential harms, however.  
The Tucson area is not prosperous.  I think the Rosemont Mine will undoubtedly improve the economic well-being of Tucson residents.  That’s a good reason for the project to proceed, even if some of the public officials who oppose the project don’t seem to recognize it.  
And from the perspective of a real estate lawyer with a background in land use law, the proposed project is of tremendous interest, whether or not I’m personally in favor of it.
