John Carroll, who lives in Brookline Village, wonders why elected officials didn't do much to stop a Borg cube from landing on Harvard Street while they are battling to do something about a proposed Mormon church off Rte. 9 in leafy Fisher Hill:

Gotta ask: Is more than somebody in Brookline government getting greased here?

Boston Police report arresting an 18-year-old on charges he shot a man on March 26 at Amory and Williams streets near English High School. The Orange Line was shut for more than 20 minutes as police searched stations and trains for Edgar Tejada after the shooting shortly before 1 p.m.

Police say they arrested Tejada at his home on Arcola Street in Jamaica Plain around 9 a.m. today and that they recovered the weapon allegedly used in the shooting. Tejada will be arraigned tomorrow in West Roxbury District court on charges of assault with intent to murder, carrying a loaded weapon on a public way, unlawful possession of a firearm, unlawful possession of ammunition and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.

Innocent, etc.
