Why this verdict View evidenceHide evidence
Why we checked itSpecific dollar amount claimed for federal funding secured — verifiable against appropriations records and University of Maine funding data.
What we foundThe $500 million figure for UMaine System funding over five years is directly stated in Collins' own Senate office press releases and echoed by independent news outlets, but both sources ultimately trace back to Collins' office as the original data source, limiting the verdict to plausible rather than supported.
