TAYLOR: This past Tuesday the Taylor City Council met in a regular scheduled meeting.
Following the opening prayer led by John Rogers and the Pledge, Mr. Rogers was leaving the meeting for ball practice. As he was leaving a lady in the audience asked Mr. Rogers was he not staying. Well, Taylor Mayor Robert Lamb went off on the lady informing her that only he and the coucil could speak.
This lady is not liked by Mayor Robert Lamb. And I have a full article about her being mistreated and an abuse of power that is believed to have been directed by Mayor Lamb. The Mayor was out of line and a TRIPLE STUPID SLAP UP SIDE HIS HEAD for his rudeness and the way he spoke to a registered voter.
The Mayor attempted to get a motion passed to employ a police chief. No one on the council made a motion. The Acting Police Chief, who got run off from Samson Police Department, recently hired Mayor Robert Lamb’s buddy, Tim Miller back as a police officer.
So Jimmy Hill is still Acting Police Chief for Taylor. Watch out for Hill to resign and Mayor Lamb appoint Miller as Police Chief.
Councilman Milner made a motion to go into an Executive Session. Mayor Robert Lamb said no, he had other plans. Well the entire council voted to go into Executive Session. In the middle of the Executive Session Mayor Lamb walked out. He got the City Clerk and another female. He was seen in the hallway talking and waving his arms while talking to the females.
The council returned and adjourned the meeting. The majority of the Sitting Council Members are attempting to do the right thing. And Lamb can not even run a meeting correctly.
Mayor Robert Lamb, in my opinion, is way out of his league as Mayor and destroying Taylor. They are without a Police Chief because Robert Lamb had a common plan, scheme and design to terminate James Brazier as Police Chief. All because he did not like him.
There is a recall petition about to begin for the removal of Robert Lamb as Mayor before he destroys and breaks Taylor.

A Dothan man connected to two separate shooting incidents in the city over the past week has been arrested, according to the Dothan Police Department.
On Wednesday, investigators located Romello Tajeh Cox, 20, entering an apartment in the 600 block of North Lena Street. Cox had already been identified as a person of interest and was wanted in connection with the shootings.
After backup was called, law enforcement surrounded the residence. Cox and another individual, Kahlesha Mesha Cooper-Smith, 21, exited the apartment and were taken into custody without incident.
Police later obtained a search warrant after receiving information that others may still be inside the apartment with access to firearms. No additional occupants were found, but officers recovered two firearms, including one that was confirmed stolen.
Cox now faces multiple charges related to two separate shooting incidents. • February 12: Two counts of Shooting into an Occupied Dwelling and one count of First-Degree Attempted Assault after shots were fired near the 1000 block of Lake Street, striking two apartments — one occupied by a woman and a small child. • February 16: Three counts of Shooting into an Occupied Vehicle and two counts of Shooting into an Unoccupied Dwelling following a shooting in the 800 block of East Selma Street, where multiple vehicles and vacant homes were struck.
Cooper-Smith was charged separately with Second-Degree Receiving Stolen Property in connection with the stolen firearm.
“Dangerous acts involving firearms are unacceptable in the City of Dothan,” said Dothan Police Chief William E. Benny. “If you use a gun in the commission of a violent crime, you can expect to be prosecuted to the fullest extent allowed by law.”
