Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Exact match to the claim, but the public record here shows introduction and committee referral only, not enactment; I did not find a later official enactment in the 30-day lookback window.

Assessments

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): never. unknown A for effort

Wilson appears to have materially pursued the promise by introducing the Transit Workforce Development Act, which directly matched the claimed policy by allowing a portion of bus and bus facility grants to support workforce development, apprenticeships, and labor-management partnerships. But the evidence provided shows only introduction and committee referral, with no enactment or implemented policy change. Under the scoring rule, a serious legislative attempt that did not produce the promised outcome counts as never, with effort credit.
