NATICK A Town Meeting member plans to introduce a resolution that condemns the actions of those who took part in the Jan. 6 riot inside the U.S. Capitol.
Jay Ball, a 30-year member of the elected body, will present his resolution during tonight’s first session of Town Meeting.
Posted on the town’s website, the resolution calls the riot a “despicable act.”
“…be it resolved that we, the duly elected Members of Natick Town Meeting, condemn the actions of any and all persons who took part in this act of sedition, and declare that they in no way represent the sentiments of this body, or of the Town of Natick,” the resolution reads in part.

A lyric from a 1970s rock song proclaims, “In life one and one don t make two; One and one make one.” Chris and Caitlynn Meek, who met because of a mathematics class at The University of Texas at Arlington, would certainly agree with that equation.
Caitlynn and Chris met in a pre-calculus lab that neither of them originally intended to take, and being acquaintances turned into a platonic friendship and, eventually, into a relationship. They got engaged in October 2019, after dating for two years (“It felt like a few days,” Caitlynn says). They made it official this past summer with a wedding attended by family and a small group of their closest friends.
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.
