Residents in Taylor held a protest Tuesday outside of City Hall calling on council members to force the mayor to step down after allegations of corruption. According to the indictment, Sollars helped Shady Awads real estate development company to obtain multiple tax-foreclosed properties owned by the city. In return, the court documents allege Awad gave Sollars thousands of dollars and tens of thousands of dollars worth of renovations and appliances. Protesters believe the City Council should have done more to prevent the mayor from engaging in the alleged illegal behavior. They plan to protest outside of every City Council meeting.
