The Republican candidates for governor have gotten the attention of the state employees unions for various statements about cutting state government.
The candidates are looking at their options as the state faces a projected deficit of more than $3 billion in the 2012 fiscal year - and the budget that the new governor will need to prepare after taking office.
CSEA/SEIU Local 2001, which is known for being outspoken, has been following the race on its political blog.
