Mary Ann Morrissey (born March 26, 1957) is a Republican politician who was elected and currently serves in the Vermont House of Representatives.
For five months during 2024, Morrissey secretly poured cups of water into a tote bag owned by Democratic lawmaker Jim Carroll, who also represents Bennington and who serves with her on Vermont's House Committee on Commerce and Economic Development.
[2] Carroll suspected Morrissey to be pouring water in his bag, but had no evidence to prove the theory.
He then used a hidden video camera to record footage of his bag in order to find what was happening.
[2] Carroll has stated that Morrissey had been "nasty" to him for months[3] and that she had "verbally harassed" him on several occasions regarding his policy decisions.
