Why this verdict View evidenceHide evidence
Why we checked itSpecific claim that electricity costs and property taxes have both tripled under Mills and Pingree — a concrete, verifiable assertion that if false would significantly mislead voters.
What we foundNo authoritative source supports a tripling of either electricity costs or property taxes statewide in Maine; documented increases are significant but fall well short of 200% (tripling) on both measures.
