There is NO security at the capitol in Jeff City. There are several doors, on every side of that building, and no metal detectors or uniformed officers anywhere. This past January, there were crosshair stickers attached to the office doors of several Democratic senators. http://missouri-news.org/featured/senators-debate-new-capitol-security-measures-following-crosshair-threat/15197

And still, no security for the elected officials. But they spend $1100 to provide security for a statue. This is absolutely insane.

JEFFERSON CITY | The Missouri House has spent more than $1,100 on a security camera to keep watch over a new bronze bust of conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh.

House Clerk Adam Crumbliss said Thursday that he authorized the camera because of concerns that the Limbaugh bust might be vandalized.

Limbaugh was inducted into the Hall of Famous Missourians last week during a closed-door ceremony intended to keep away protesters. His bust went on public display at the state Capitol after lawmakers ended their annual session last Friday.

The Hall of Famous Missourians features dozens of busts of people such as President Harry Truman, Walt Disney and former Cardinals baseball star Stan Musial. But Limbaugh's bust is the only one with a camera specifically pointed at it.
