You are probably right that it is not evenly distributed. But this seems entirely on-brand for a state like Missouri. How many libraries have been ruined by these antics already? According to some cursory searches, Washington State (where I live) has 2,500 libraries for 7.7 million people and Missouri has somewhere between 171 and 400 libraries for 6.1 million people. At some point the horse dies and the stick is no longer motivational.
