As petition calls to remove Suzanne Ianni as Natick Town Meeting member after arrest in connection with US Capitol insurrection, town looks to change bylaws
Updated Jan 19, 2021;
Natick residents are calling for one Town Meeting member to be removed from office after her alleged involvement in the U.S. Capitol insurrection earlier this month.
“Natick needs to demonstrate that these values are not what it stands for and Suzanne E. Ianni needs to be immediately removed from all public offices,” the Change.org petition states.
Ianni was one of two Massachusetts residents arrested by the FBI on Tuesday in connection with the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. She had also organized buses to the nation’s capital for the group, according to court documents.
’I’m not resigning’: Chicopee City Councilor Lucjan Galecki states after Facebook posts about sexual assault; city has history of being unable to remove elected officials

“I’m not resigning, it’s not happening,” Chicopee City Councilor Lucjan Galecki told MassLive Wednesday afternoon.
Galecki said he was simply answering a question, which has since led to people on social media calling for his removal.
“Somebody asked me a question and I answered it. I didn’t go out of my way to attack sexually abused women,” he said. “So, I don’t feel that I need to resign. I truthfully answered the question the way that I believe, and this is the answer. So, why should I have to resign for stating my own opinion?”
