• Matthews-Mint Hill Restaurant Inspections (June 4-10) (thecharlotteweekly.com) — If you eat out in Matthews, you’ll want to see how your favorite spots scored in the latest Mecklenburg County health inspections from June 4–10. From Chicken Salad Chick on Matthews Township Parkway to Tropical Brazilian Bakery on Monroe Road, the list shows which kitchens earned top marks and which have room to improve, plus nearby Mint Hill and east Charlotte results. 
• NC legislature proposal could require Charlotte to repay I-77 tolls costs (newsobserver.com) — Matthews could be forced to help repay up to $60 million already spent on the now-suspended I-77 South toll lane project because its CRTPO representative voted to rescind support. A new General Assembly amendment would make Charlotte-area governments that backed the reversal share those costs and could freeze state transportation aid until they pay up. Matthews Mayor John Higdon previously doubted lawmakers would intervene, but this proposal suggests otherwise.
