Issues: Government Operations Veterans Elections

Following a breaking report that Bruce Rauner's administration is the subject of a criminal probe into their fatal mismanagement in Quincy, JB Pritzker released the following statement:

"After four years of outbreaks, 14 deaths, and nearly 70 cases of Legionnaires' at the Quincy Veterans' Home, Bruce Rauner's administration is now the subject of a criminal investigation into their fatal mismanagement and cover-up," said JB Pritzker. "While Rauner's own office tried to keep the Legionnaires' crisis under wraps -- delaying notification to the public and selectively releasing state records to the media -- Veterans, their spouses, and staff at the home continued to get sick and die on this failed governor's watch. Their families deserve justice, and Bruce Rauner must be held accountable."
