TAYLOR: This evening, Taylor Mayor Robert Lamb and members of Taylor City Council met in a regular Council Meeting.
The actual meeting where council members could actually vote the only matter that was voted on was the approval of the minutes of the last meeting. Following the approval of the minutes the meeting was adjourned. The Mayor and City Council then moved to the Administrative Meeting. In this meeting there can be no voting.
The Mayor and Council moved to the regular agenda payment for an Assistant Magistrate to attend training in Birmingham. Someone from the back of the room, a female believed to be the ASSistant Magistrate yelled that Ann ( Ann Baxter – Court Magistrate ) had already paid for the trip and motel room from court funds. NOTE: Normally expenditures are approved and then paid for. Not paid for then permission requested. So if already paid for the decision of the Taylor City Council matters not!
The item was moved to the next regular City Council Meeting agenda.
Speaking to Mayor Robert Lamb and members of the Taylor City Council. Former Taylor Mayor Billy Snell spoke concerning allegations that Taylor Mayor Robert Lamb has made statements that Mayor Snell has stole $ 30,000.00 or more. When former Mayor Snell made those allegations now Mayor Robert Lamb denied statements and said he has never said it or heard it. Look at members of the Taylor City Council faces when Lamb denied making those statements.
Former Taylor Mayor Billy Snell told Lamb he regretted that he ever called him a friend. Snell, who served 9 years as a Taylor Councilman and 8 years as Taylor Mayor did not seek re-election. Snell said that he stayed out of the Mayor’s race and out of the City of Taylor’s business since he left office. But the comments that Lamb is alleged to have said, Snell said he can no longer remain quiet. Snell told all of the Taylor City Council, most especially Mayor Robert Lamb, the City of Taylor has become the laughing stock of everyone.
As Snell finished Mayor Robert Lamb quipped to the members of Taylor City Council they had better hire him a lawyer.
A lady spoke and RSN will make a different article. It is a long story what she went through.
As Lamb got up and left with the Council still sitting there and went into the hallway he stuck his head back in the council chambers because he heard someone make a comment. Lamb gave a hateful look and after a few seconds he decided it was best for him to leave.

COTTONWOOD: 10:13 AM This morning RSN visited the new building for Cottonwood Senior Citizens Center, unannounced.
The building was destroyed when the tornado struck Cottonwood.
The new building, much larger and much nicer than the previous center, is near completion. The construction crews are all working hard to finish it.
The visit was unannounced. I was in Cottonwood to getmy grandson from school and was early. So I decided to check out the Senior Building. Outside the building was Cottonwiid Mayor Van Granger. He was checking out the building and meeting the architect. Mayor Granger is making sure all is going as per contract. Mayor Granger wants the center to be nice.
Since the tornado Union Hill Baptist Church welcomed the Senior Citizens to meet at the church. In the immediate future the Cottonwood Senior Citizens Center will return to a newly constructed center.
