Jefferson Should Move Forward With Its Plan To Build Storm-Water Storage Tanks Underground Beneath Becker Boulevard. These Tanks Will Allow Sewer Overflow during storms to be safely stored until it can be properly treated. Currently, sewer overflow runs directly into Jefferson Bay, where it wreaks havoc on the water quality. This is not only detrimental to fish and other wildlife in the bay, but also causes the water to emit offensive odors. Opponents of the plan complain that it will shut down traffic on Becker Boulevard for several months. But what's a little traffic headache compared to a cleaner environment?

C. In favoring the environment, the response betrays the authors' bias against the community's use of automobiles.
