TAYLOR: Last evening was the regular scheduled meeting of the Taylor City Council featuring Taylor Mayor Robert #HANDLEBAR Lamb.
Lamb argued briefly at the beginning of the meeting when Councilman Thompson added a correction to the minutes of the last meeting.

The FACEBOOK LIVE stream lost internet connection. The meeting was held in the Senior Center because of election using the council meeting room. So I had to change cameras. The meeting was not dramatic other than a builder who wanted to build 3,000 square foot houses and the regulations require him to give up some of the land and he said he was not willing to or jump through a lot of hoops and would just build crap houses, meaning much smaller homes. The builder has a great reputation in the construction business and builds excellent homes and would build homes Taylor could be proud of instead of little box homes.
The council said he had to go before the Planning and Zoning board.
