Morrison swears to relax, kind of
Wednesday, January 7, 2015 by Elizabeth Pagano
Though her former staffers are already at work after being swiftly hired by other local officials, former City Council Member Laura Morrison told the Monitor that she plans to take a break. Her current agenda has significantly fewer items than Council is used to and most prominently involves a few good books and a dive into synchronized swimming. Morrison explained that she adopted tap dancing at her last milestone, and synchronized swimming will be her next pursuit after a neighbor gifted her with all of the gear she needs to become the next Esther Williams. (Or so we predict.) Morrison was successful in her fight to keep Bartholomew Pool open year-round, and was last seen trying to recruit teammates for a synchronized swimming team (troupe?) that would take advantage of its new heating.
