Actually, Mayor Bing can't claim that either.

The City of Detroit has a $300 million deficit. If you take every proposal that he's ever talked about for addressing this shortage, even the ones like the layoffs and the Belle Isle entrance fee that haven't been implemented, we're only about 15% of the way to solving the problem. More importantly, when one adds in the cost of political stunts like reopening the police precincts, much of the money that he's saved is spent again.

Oh, and let's not forget about what we lost by not getting our audit done on time.

Or what we'll likely lose in state revenue sharing from any of the deals that are pending in Lansing - but that Mayor Bing has been silent on.
