well then who put it there, if not the state legislature, and if it was the legislature then that surely counts as a mixing of government and religion?

The legislature did not. A local synagogue did. Did you even read the article?

I skim read it, but must have missed that part/glossed over it. in that case I don't see too much of a problem here.

The article doesn't say that explicitly but it also does not mention the legislature did.

The state government merely allows the menorah to be there as such there is no violation of church and state.
