Missouri taxpayers fund 24-hour security camera for Limbaugh statue
At the request of Republican lawmakers, taxpayers are funding a 24-hour security camera to watch over a Rush Limbaugh bust in the Missouri Capitol building. State House Clerk Adam Crumbliss on Thursday told The Associated Press that he had authorized the $1,000 camera after Republican lawmakers expressed concerns about vandalism. Limbaugh’s statue is the only one in the Rotunda with 24-hour security.“We recognize that there was a level of controversy around it, and we want to make sure that property is protected,” Crumbliss explained.
