Why this verdict View evidenceHide evidence
Why we checked itSpecific figures of $1.5 billion and 672 projects are verifiable claims about Collins's legislative record.
What we foundThe $1.5 billion figure and the five-year timeframe are consistently corroborated by Collins' own official sources and repeated by multiple media outlets, but the specific project count of 672 varies across sources (ranging from 650+ to 672), and the primary data ultimately traces back to Collins' own office rather than an independent auditing body.
