Dolly Parton Says ‘No Thank You’

Dolly Parton says thanks, but no asking Tennessee lawmakers to no longer consider placing a statue of her on the state Capitol grounds.Dolly released the following statement saying I want to thank the Tennessee legislature for their consideration of a bill to erect a statue of me on the Capitol grounds. I am honored and humbled by their intention but I have asked the leaders of the state legislature to remove the bill from any and all consideration.Given all that is going on in the world, I don’t think putting me on a pedestal is appropriate at this time. In the meantime, I’ll continue to try to do good work to make this great state proud.
