FRAMINGHAM – The City Council could soon leave the virtual world and return to in-person meetings.
Councilors briefly discussed a potential return to in-person meetings at the Memorial Building and are expected to meet with Ron Rego, director of media services, at their next meeting to discuss the issue further.
The council has held its meetings via Zoom and broadcast them on Facebook Live since the outset of the pandemic last spring. Councilors held two in-person meetings last summer, but the council opted to return to virtual meetings when the second surge of the virus spiked in the fall.
“Hopefully our return will be more permanent,” said City Council Chairman George King.

POLITICAL NOTEBOOK: Former Natick selectman says post office mural must come down
Daily News Staff and News Services
Former Natick Selectman John Moran has nothing against art. But he sure does frown when it comes to a certain mural inside the Natick Center Post office.
Created as part of the Works Progress Administration, an employment and infrastructure program created by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, it depicts Puritan missionary John Eliot standing beside three Native Americans, scantily dressed, each in chains.
“It’s upsetting me even more,” he said of the 1937 mural on display in the customer area.
The image hits home in Natick because local “Praying Indians” were rounded up by state order during King Philip s War in the 1670s and shipped off to internment camps on Deer Island. Many died there.
