Is it necessary for public servants to have citizen financed mansions? Couldn’t their private security protect them at their own homes?
In: 2
A few things:
– the governor is likely not from the capital city, so they need a house there while in office
– security is easier if it’s always the same house with security set up vs. having to determine security needs every time an incoming governor buys/rents a house
– governors’ mansions are often the site of official state ceremonies, dinners, important meetings, repositories for state history
