Looked on the Killeen and Harker Heights web sites today and found something I want to share.
Killeen does not give the home addresses for the mayor or council members. Harker Heights posts the home addresses for the mayor and council members.
What is Killeen afraid of - that their constituents may find out where they live and drop by? If you want to represent people you should be open and not afraid.

We started working on this site last year, but with the holidays combined with winter doldrums, we are just now getting this site active. Although we’ve been in a stall mode the underlying principles of our site have not changed.
If Killeen has the balls to annex Harker Heights, we Killeenites would see an immedicate upswing in our city’s image. No longer would we be known just for the ugly signs on our main business routes, the “ugly GI town reputation”, the utter lack of landscaping, the pawn shops and payday loan places dotting the landscape, the 4-plexes with their unkept streets and parking lots, the mutli-million dollars boondoggles with butterfly atriums and herb gardens, and let’s not forget Billy Workman.
Drive out to Harker Heights and look around - large shopping center (with stores that have migrated out of Killeen), trees everywhere, outstanding parks and recreation, progressive mayor and city council and access to Stillhouse Lake.
So, come on Killeen residents, let’s get moving and annex our neighbor for the reasons listed above and the increased sales and property taxes.
