Vermont State Representative Mary Morrissey (R) has publicly apologized for her repeated actions of secretly pouring water into the tote bag of her Democratic colleague, State Representative Jim Carroll, over a period of five months. Morrissey’s actions were caught on video, leading to her confession and apology for what she described as 'disrespectful conduct.' Carroll, while reluctantly accepting the apology, humorously remarked that her apology 'holds about as much water as my canvas bag.' The incident has drawn significant attention due to its unusual nature and the prolonged period over which it occurred.
