Legislative Audit - 12.13.17

Senator Tom Cullerton wrote to the co-chairs of the Illinois Audit Commission requesting a swift audit of the Quincy Veterans' Home due to recurring Legionnaires' disease outbreaks that have resulted in 13 deaths in the last three years. He believes this shows clear mismanagement and mistreatment of Illinois veterans. The senator plans to file a resolution for the audit to examine the conditions and questions around the gross mismanagement at the facility to protect veterans and ensure they receive proper care. He asks for support of his request to get a clear picture of the ongoing epidemic and remedy the situation quickly.
