Busted: VT Republican Secretly Poured Water Into Colleague’s Bag For Months
Not sure what to make of this story. Jim Carroll is a Democrat representing Bennington, VT and Mary Morrisey is a Republican representing Bennington, VT. Caroll says Morrissey had been "nasty" to him for months, despite having known each other since they were kids (both are in their 60s now) and that they attend the same church. Carroll suspected it was her putting the water in his bag, but he didn't have any proof, so he set up a spycam in the coatroom and caught her in the act.

A Republican lawmaker publicly apologized to a Democratic colleague before the Vermont House of Representatives after she was caught on video pouring water into his bag multiple times over the course of five months.
“I am truly ashamed of my actions,” Representative Mary Morrissey, who serves Bennington, Vt., said at a House veto session Monday.
Videos of Morrissey pouring cups of water into a personal bag belonging to Representative Jim Carroll, who also represents Bennington, were first acquired by Seven Days. The news outlet obtained the videos via a public records request after Carroll mounted a camera above where he hung his bag to find a culprit for the frequent soakings his belongings were getting.
