A Democrat said his bag had been mysteriously soaked with water over the course of five months. A Republican from his district admitted to it this week.
A person pours water into Vermont state Rep. Jim Carroll's bag in April. Carroll, a Democrat, says the bag drenching went on for five months. Rep. Mary Morrissey , who represents the same district, apologized Monday for her “disrespectful conduct.” A Republican member of Vermont’s House of Representatives apologized Monday for inconspicuously pouring water into a Democratic colleague’s bag over the course of five months — behavior she described as “most unbecoming” of her position.
upset about his work bag being repeatedly drenched over five months and struggled to understand why Morrissey did not “choose to either drop it” or confront him. Two to three times a week, starting in January, Carroll found his tote soaked, he told The Post. When his footage appeared to show Morrissey pouring the water, he said he felt “profoundly sad,” especially as he thought about the fallout.“It was going to be humiliating, it was just going to be awful,” Carroll said. “And it was, and it has been.”
Neither representative addressed possible motivations behind the water-pouring incidents in their Monday remarks. “The integrity and decorum of our legislative proceedings and of legislators are of paramount importance, and any actions or behaviors that compromise these values will be thoroughly investigated and addressed,” Krowinski said. “I want to assure everyone that the matter is being taken seriously.”
