An absolutely horrible thing to do to all of those workers and their families just to make a statement.

FWIW, they get back pay once the budget's passed. It's not awesome but they're not screwed entirely.
We had the issue here when IL couldn't pass a budget but instead they were just not going to get paid. The state worker's credit union was prepared to offer no interest loans (for good will's sake), but I think they just barely passed it in time.
If the legislators can't pass the bill, they'll bet he ones to pay, not the gov. He's out no matter what.
