Is it really worth it to destroy the vegetation and landscape for a few years profit?

Dear Editor:  

Saw on Internet Steve Daines and Greg Gianforte want to open the Snowy Mountains up for industrial development. Yes, jobs boost the economy, jobs for a long time. Invite the multi-national corporations to extract our wealth and leave the state to clean up the contaminated soil and water.

History has taught us the companies take the wealth (resources) and money out of state and leave the mess for us. What about the social and economic issues, housing, crime, addictions and students to the local schools? Is it really worth it to destroy the vegetation and landscape for a few years profit?
