Belton City Council steals annexed citizen's money by not providing services promised...

In 2004, Village Hill Street taxpayers were promised that their street services were to be at "same level of service or better" than what the county provided prior to annexation into the city.  Additionally, note how City Officials can be out of compliance with their own codes and ordinances that they created. The same ordinances they have used to take senior citizens to court, fined and liens placed on their properties for tall grass. How's that for being a leading example?
