governor Lamont has added to those unfunded mandates like the one you just described to the tune of over a hundred and four new laws in just the last five years

Overstated

Why we checked itSpecific count (104+ new laws in 5 years) of unfunded mandates attributed to Governor Lamont — verifiable against legislative records
What we foundThe 104-entry figure comes from a real review of official ACIR reports, but the claim overstates it by characterizing all 104 entries as 'new laws' of unfunded mandates, when the ACIR source explicitly cautions that 104 act entries do not equal 104 individual unfunded mandates, as some are only partially unfunded and some impose costs only in staff time rather than direct expenditure.
