Perhaps worth reading from the horses' mouth as it were.
Also, here's the financials for a member station near me:

Note that state contributions totaled less than 5% of their total revenue. The CPB grant, which could be stretched to be considered state/government contributions, was about 16% of their revenue.
Given that member station contribution is 30% of NPR's total revenue, there's no chance that state funding is going to reach 30%-40% values.
