Is it necessary for public servants to have citizen financed mansions? Couldn’t their private security protect them at their own homes?

Usually, the Governor’s Mansion is very much like the White House; sure, the Governor may live there, but it’s primarily where the governor’s day-to-day job is also done. It’s mostly made up of the administrative offices that are required for a governor to do their job, the headquarters of the state’s Executive Branch, as it were. Cabinet meetings, research, lawyers, the Press, situation room, etc. are all in the Governor’s Mansion (again, usually, not all states do things the same way). The Residence is there because having the governor live and work in the same place is *damn* convenient for just about everybody.
They also function as event halls, museums, cultural exchange centers, etc.
