Not true. They are considered individual sites, and google gives the link juice to the primary domain for all the backlinks. I can see that in google webmaster tools for a mainstream site I run. I got PR3 in a month with backlinks from my own subdomains.
It's all about the context and the content. Google won't penalize you for using subdomains if it makes sense from a content point of view, and when you consider the context of using subdomains.
Yeah - try doing anal-sex.mycrappornsite.com, anal.mycrappornsite.com, teen-anal.etc.. and you probably won't get very far.
In the original post, doing something logical and non-spammy like alabama.state.com, arkansas.state.com, etc, would most like work out very well.
