Governor Bruce Rauner suggests he’s not familiar with the 2016 report that called for replacing the plumbing at the Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy to address an ongoing Legionnaires Disease outbreak.
That report put the cost at $8 million… far less than other administration estimates to address water issues that have sickened dozens of residents there, including four more just this month alone.
When asked about the $8 million figure, Rauner said he’d have to see those numbers and what exactly they covered.
But Rauner still insists his administration has done everything experts have recommended, and that all options are still on the table… including relocating the residents of the Quincy facility.
