An Illinois lawmaker is making a sweeping request for documents on anything related to the Legionnaires Disease outbreak at the Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy.
Democratic state Senator Tom Cullerton sent letters to seven state agencies and the Centers for Disease Control, asking for copies of all correspondence from June 2015 through earlier this month related to the outbreak.
Cullerton has asked for the documents by next week. He says that material will help lawmakers develop better protocols to prevent such situations in the future.
