Some shoddy work going on in Belle, streets that used to have no problems at all are now having water backing up and not draining fast at all. Lot of taxpayer money being wasted up here!

1) Ok Fred - the cat joke is not funny (at least not to me). 2) Rich Oil is not in or near Sissonville. It just happens to be located on Sissonville Drive.
