Proposal: Beautify the baysville area's freeways ---> relocating power lines. + adding landscaping + removing billboards.

MS: Business ---> billboard

Billboards are torn down ---> ability to earn a living will be severely damaged.

JJ: Business ---> attractive community ---> people dont want to see ugly billboards

Billboards are not torn down ---> hurting the ability to earn a living

Apparently, they stand different position - one is repressing an outdoor advertising company, and JJ is a local merchant

C - correct answer.
