I don't think 'we' have access to see the numbers, or if we did, would they be meaningful?   It's a fall back to blame the unions,  ( and the courts did no favor to the state of Oregon's attempt to rein them in).   We can complain, but they still must be paid.   

Many on this site have said that Democrats envy wealth and success.   I'm sure some do, some don't.   But this constant blame on state workers seems an envy of their security and retirement benefits.   Those very same State Wages and benefits are available to every one of us if we have the right skill set.   

Is it envy that always seeks to blame the union?  "We can't get good wages and pensions are almost non existence, those unions shouldn't either"

Do you trust that all attempts to cut cost have been done yet?       
Would cutting more jobs, lowering pay and benefits to state workers do anything create more spending in the state?  
We need people working, with some disposable income, to stimulate more growth.
