ironyak - ". . . it seems like "pay-cuts" is just being used as short-hand . . ."
Yes, that is entirely possible, but "pay cuts" do get prominent mention. Even I can easily see a scenario where the governor falls back to furloughs so the sacred cow state workers don't have to do the same work for less money. And yes, "the ramifications will be immense," but in times where nearly everyone is having to endure hardships of all sorts, how is it fair for one group to be exempted? Oh, wait. This is Hawaii where all animals are created equal, but some animals are more equal than others.
