Why this verdict View evidenceHide evidence
Why we checked itSpecific dollar figure claimed for federal funding going to a particular energy plant — verifiable against federal budget records or grant announcements
What we foundThe claim that approximately $2 billion in federal funds is at stake is not supported by available data; the $2 billion figure corresponds to Iowa's state general fund Medicaid appropriation, not federal funds, while the relevant federal funding figures are substantially different.
