Taylor Volunteer Fire Department is a 501 ( c ) ( 3 ) non profit entity and is not a division of the City of Taylor. The Mayor and City Commissioners have zero authority of Taylor Volunteer Fire Department. The Fire Chief and Fire Department attempt to work with the City of Taylor.
In a common plan, scheme and design of Robert Lamb following his election as Mayor was to terminate James Brazier as Taylor Police Chief. On November 3, 2025 at 8:00 AM, the Oath of Office for Mayor of Taylor was administered to Robert Lamb and he officially became Mayor of Taylor. At 8:45 AM, with Taylor Magistrate Ann Baxter and Taylor Prosecutor Gary Maxwell in the Magistrate Office, now Mayor Robert Lamb called Taylor Police Chief James Brazier into the office of Magistrate Ann Baxter and terminated James Brazier as Police Chief. Brazier left the Taylor Police Department on foot, walking. He was given a ride home by Rickey Stokes who had remained because it was common knowledge Robert Lamb’s intentions were to terminate Taylor Police Chief James Brazier as soon as he was sworn in. And that common knowledge became a reality.
Former Taylor Police Officer Tim Miller, who is a former Dothan Police Officer, former Ashford Police Officer, former Jackson County Sheriff Deputy, former Taylor Police Officer and current Columbia Police Officer was present at the swearing in of Robert Lamb as Mayor. Miller remained at Taylor Police Department/Taylor City Hall until about 10:35 AM. Miller is reported to have said he wanted to see Taylor Police Chief James Brazier get fired. Sources have said Taylor Mayor Robert Lamb wanted Tim Miller as Police Chief because they were friends.
TO DATE, the Taylor City Council has not approved the termination of James Brazier as Taylor Police Chief. If Mayor Robert Lamb has appointed an Interim Police Chief the Taylor City Council has never approved that action since the November 3, 2025 Mayor Termination of Taylor Police Chief James Brazier. According to APOST ( the accreditation agency of law enforcement officers in Alabama ) upon the vacancy of a Police Chief someone has to immediately be named Police Chief. Failure to do so could mean forfeiting a municipal police department. Rumor are that Mayor Robert Lamb named the former Samson Police Chief who is a Geneva County Deputy as Interim Taylor Police Chief, but that action has never been formal in a Taylor City Council meeting.
The four sitting members of the Taylor City Council has been committing WILLFUL NEGLECT OF DUTY in not forcing the re-instatement of Taylor Police Chief James Brazier approving the Mayor’s termination of Taylor Police Chief James Brazier, and if terminated their failure to approval the naming of an Interim Police Chief.
Former Taylor Mayor Billy Snell has had the City of Taylor in sound financial condition. Based on Taylor Mayor Robert Lamb’s actions and the Taylor City Council WILLFUL NEGLECT OF DUTY that sound financial condition might go to Taylor Police Chief James Brazier.
RSN is not picking on Taylor. Just stating facts and if anyone cares to debate them – I will open the camera and allow it.
NOTE: There is a regular Taylor City Council Meeting on Tuesday, January 6, 2026 at 6:00 PM. I have a conflict if another meeting that I have to attend but will have someone at the meeting to record it. Just wanted it clear as to why I personally will not be at the meeting.

Looks like I won’t go fishing for the rest of the year..
Super blessed to have the year that I had! Coming into 2025 I had no experience fishing higher caliber tournaments whatsoever so I am super happy with how the year turned out! I also had little to no social media presence so to see it grow has been awesome! Very excited for 2026 and to see what it has in store. We start off on Lake Kissimmee Jan 29th-31st for the first stop of the Bassmaster Opens. Huge thank you to my sponsors and everyone that has helped me along the way this year it has truly been a blessing. Stay Tuned for Next Year!
