Republicans Push AG for Veterans Home Investigation

Illinois House Republicans are formally asking the Illinois Attorney General to investigate the Pritzker administration’s handling of the COVID-19 outbreak at the LaSalle Veterans’ Home last fall that killed 36 residents. A letter House Minority Leader Jim Durkin sent said the outbreak was avoidable, asks for an investigation and for the Attorney General to prosecute if appropriate. The AG’s office didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
