Charlie Baker's administration has tapped Brian Shortsleeve, a one-time political director for Mitt Romney, to serve in the newly-created position of chief administrator of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority. In making the announcement yesterday, Baker called Shortsleeve a "proven leader" with a successful record of fixing and operating complex organizations of all sizes.

BOSTON (AP) - New England's tallest building is getting a name change, but it's not clear whether Bostonians will play along. The owners of the 60-story, 790-foot-tall John Hancock Tower in Boston's Back Bay neighborhood said yesterday that they can no longer use the name, because financial services company John Hancock is no longer a tenant. The building's owner, Boston Properties, has renamed it "200 Clarendon" after its street address.

BOSTON (AP) - The special agent in charge of the Boston division of the FBI is retiring after two years in the job. Vincent Lisi has had a 26-year career with the FBI.

He oversaw the counterterrorism investigations stemming from the Boston Marathon bombings, the investigation of Massachusetts state probation officials and the investigation of the former speaker of the Rhode Island House of Representatives.
