I am very familiar with Stafford. It is a very conservative town, right next to SugarLand, the home of Tom DeLay. It is a very low tax area. Unlike most municipalities in Texas, there is NO property tax, which is how most city governments are funded. I'm on board with keeping taxes low, but if you can't fund basic city services, like picking up garbage, fixing potholes, providing for police, residents tend to get a little annoyed.
