Why this verdict View evidenceHide evidence
Why we checked itJackson asserts that Senator Collins both sponsored federal data center guardrail legislation and opposed Maine's legislative action on data centers — a potentially contradictory pair of positions that can be verified against her legislative record and public statements.
What we foundThe claim contains a key inaccuracy: Collins voted for the Ratepayer Protection Act but did not sponsor it — it was sponsored by Sen. Jon Husted (R-OH); and while Collins expressed skepticism of a blanket moratorium consistent with opposing the Maine legislature's approach, no source directly quotes her saying that approach was 'not right.'
