Cities with Democratic mayors have nearly three times as much debt as Republican-run cities, according to a new report by an organization that tracks the finances of state and local governments.
The report by Truth in Accounting, “Financial State of the Cities,†examines the debt load of the nation’s 75 biggest cities. It does not reference the partisan affiliations of the leaders of those cities, but the 52 with Democratic mayors have an average debt of $9,796.15 per taxpayer.
