    Rob Ford repeated the claim that he has saved taxpayers a billion dollars. Nobody has been given the math behind the claim.

        @ddale8 By that, I mean as the words "saved a billion dollars" comes out of his mouth, not in an article after the fact.

      @ddale8 Rob Ford rescued a unicorn from a burning building once. Rob Ford also invented the Internet. Prove me wrong!

      @ddale8 Exactly! There are never any specifics. Show us the details. Better yet, let's have an outside independent source show us

      @ddale8 the press need to attack that claim, guaranteed to take him off his talking points.

      @ddale8 Deco hasn't billed the city $1billion in consulting fees, therefore that money has been saved
