News About Town: Town of Matthews Stormwater Supervisor Mike Ortlieb played detective earlier this week. When Mike found a wallet on the side of the road he looked inside to find the owner. The license showed an out of town address. The wallet also contained $400 in cash, credit cards, insurance cards, and treasured photos. Without a local address to go by, Mike started asking around in the area and eventually found the owner to return the wallet. The owner, Terri Morrison-Duncan, posted to the Town’s Facebook page,  “It is employees like Mike who give our town a great reputation, I am so proud to be a part of a town like Matthews. Even before this, I have heard many people say how well the Matthews staff handles the town’s needs. This incident shows the bar is set high for the town employees. Once again, I want to thank Mike for showing integrity, honesty, and escalating the reputation of the town of Matthews.”
