After staying a week at the Quincy Veterans Home the Governor says the entire water system needs to be replaced after continued outbreaks of Legionnaires’ disease at the home. But the specifics of how to pay for it or just what a complete tear out looks like - are unknown.
The Rauner administration has taken plenty of criticism on how they responded to the first outbreak that killed 12 people. Rauner says that he still has confidence in the two people leading agencies, the Department of Veterans Affairs the Department of Public Health, who were on the front lines of the response to the outbreak.
