Dolly Parton, the country music icon who is celebrating her 75th birthday Tuesday, may be honored with a monument in her home state of Tennessee.
A newly introduced bill would require the state to establish a statue of Parton on the Capitol grounds in honor of her contributions.
Rep. John Windle, D-Livingston, filed a bill Wednesday that would require the Tennessee's State Capitol Commission to develop and execute a plan to erect a Parton statue facing the Ryman Auditorium, where she performs from time to time. The commission, created by the legislature in 1986, oversees the restoration and preservation of the Capitol Complex.
