We just faced that in Georgia. State Government has been on an austerity program for a while. We’re doing our best to do more with less. (This is a good thing). Then the legislature continued to cut taxes for special interest groups while counting on bonds and fees to balance the already suffering budget. We’re #46 in the nation for per capita tax burden, for crying out loud we can use some revenues.

(I’m making moderate noises again - I know)

In CA we’ve got Meg Whitman campaigning almost solely on the point that our state has too many state workers. Her examples include enough workers to fill the Rose Bowl, etc.

It’s nice to find out right from the jump that a candidate has no problem lying to advance their own interest. California was 48th in the nation (2008 statistics) with regard to state workers per capita.
