Johnson County operates a bond-information site at johnsoncountyjailbond.com, with a downloadable fact sheet. The site was built with public funds under Shive-Hattery Amendment 3’s Public Awareness Campaign line and describes its own contract as “referendum support services.” This page checks each factual claim on that site and fact sheet against primary records — almost always the county’s: state inspection reports, the county’s needs assessment, its budget worksheets, its claims registers, its adopted resolution and notice, and its own tax calculator.
Of 27 claims checked: 7 accurate, 4 accurate but incomplete, 8 misleading, 2 incorrect, 3 unsupported by any published document, and 3 internally inconsistent between county publications. The pattern is not random: the accurate claims are the verifiable engineering and procedural facts; the misleading and incorrect claims cluster where the case for replacement over repair, and the cost to voters, is made.
