and that person is from Cape Girardeau. Steven Tilley is the House Speaker and makes the decision as to who is and is not put on display.

Hell, people like Satchel Page and Mel Carnahan (who was killed in a plane crash while governor) are not on display in the Statehouse.

Democrats statewide are protesting the decision.
