How many broke cities are run by liberals?

From Business Insider:
Skyrocketing employee costs — the result of overly generous union contracts, an aging workforce, and bad pension investments — are now pushing several municipalities to the brink of fiscal ruin. Without union concessions or substantial reform, these cities will edge closer to insolvency while residents pay higher taxes for deteriorating public services. 
They list 14 cities as absolutely overwhelmed with debt because of city employees' benefits and wages. How many are run by liberals?

  2. Detroit employs 1 city worker for every 55 residents. It's so bad. The Blog Prof lives up there and covers it here:
