A curious situation has developed in Morrisville, where a councilman submitted multiple survey responses favoring a bond project. An investigation has concluded councilman Steve Diehl submitted 12 of 101 surveys. He says it was a technical glitch; he didn’t think his online survey had been received. Councilman Mark Stohlman says that’s not a credible response.

“I stand by the truth. I know I did not seek to do anything wrong. My conscience and motivation is clear,” Diehl said.

Stohlman said he wasn’t buying Diehl’s explanations. He said there were no glitches reported for the online survey. Stohlman asked for the investigation after reviewing the IP addresses on the questionnaires. He said he asked to see the survey responses because he was surprised at the larger than usual number of responses.
