Gosar Introduces Land Exchange Bill
The Arizona Geology blog reports that 1st District Congressman Paul Gosar has introduced legislation in the US House to effect the land exchange needed by Resolution Copper to develop its underground mine near Superior. Gosar’s two predecessors—Ann Kirkpatrick and Rick Renzi—also pushed for similar legislation.
Renzi was indicted for his involvement in related land deals and the bill was tainted by association.
The Hill newspaper says that one of the main differneces between Gosar’s bill and Kirkpatrick’s bill is that Gosar’s bill requires an environmental impact study after the land is given to Resolution Copper rather than before.
