VERDICT · MOSTLY TRUE
The statement is a direct quote attributed to Senator Tammy Duckworth from a 2026-05-02 Chicago Crusader article. Verifying the exact wording and context requires access to the original source, which is not available here. However, the Red Line Extension is a real, planned project that would affect Chicago’s South Side, and it is plausible that Duckworth made such a statement supporting it. Without confirmation of the quote’s accuracy or the article’s content, the factual truthfulness of the attribution cannot be fully verified, but there is no obvious contradiction with known facts.
