In his first post of 2013, Neil deMause has the latest on the red ink piling up for taxpayers in Bridgeview, Ill., and Glendale, Ariz., the latter especially so:

Plus the city put in money for infrastructure for the state-built Arizona Cardinals stadium, plus $200 million for a spring training baseball facility.
