Republicans this year quietly cut millions of dollars of funding for the late and beloved Dolly Parton’s children’s book charity, according to multiple reports. Imagination Library, the nonprofit founded by Parton that sends free books to children across the world, faces an uncertain future in Indiana and Missouri as Republican lawmakers limit public funding, Newsweekreported Wednesday.

      This happened like last year. It’s just being brought up again because of Dolly’s passing.

        Jeez… It is amazing how I can learn about a new low these people can reach.
