NEW: State lawmakers are going to make the city of Charlotte and other municipalities repay the money spent to develop the I77 toll lanes, per an amendment filed today. That's roughly $60 million, and the draft legislation says new transportation sales tax revenue can't be used.>

An interim Charlotte mayor name to watch: Carrie Cook. The city clerk’s list doesn’t show her name yet. But multiple people I spoke to believe she will be a formidable applicant.
Applications close June 9 at 5 pm.

BREAKING: WBT is the first to learn & report that in a letter to Monroe City Council, Mayor Robert Burns & Councilman David Dotson have asked council for an ethics investigation “involving Council Member Gary Anderson and supposedly a minor arising from a recent reported incident in the City of Charlotte.” The letter also says CMPD’s Crimes Against Children Unit is investigating. This discussion was placed on the agenda for Tuesday’s meeting.

Update- Just heard from the city of Charlotte. They will release the names of mayoral applicants through the public records request process. But the city will not proactively release the names of applicants without the blessing of Charlotte City Council.
So for now, I am planning on just submitting records requests every day for people who applied for the position

New: @CLTMayor says she may remain Charlotte Mayor past her announced June 30th retirement date if a new mayor hasn't been selected by City Council by then. Council is supposed to pick a new mayor on June 22, but could struggle to find a candidate who can get six votes
