Missouri Reps just zero-lined the budget for public libraries!

Just amazing. As Trump said DURING his initial campaign, 'I love dumb people!' Lots going on here, mostly it's the Morality Police making noise and causing trouble. It still has to go through the Senate, so no telling whether or not it will survive.

Definitely a sea-change in the world of librarianship.
