Rauner Can’t Keep Numbers Straight on Cost of Legionnaires’ Crisis
Rauner Can’t Keep Numbers Straight on Cost of Legionnaires’ Crisis
Wednesday, April 4, 2018
Chicago, IL – Bruce Rauner is guesstimating with no concrete plan to end the Legionnaires’ crisis at the Quincy Veterans’ Home. The wide range of estimates coming from his administration make it clear that Rauner has no idea how much it will cost to replace the water pipes at the facility, let alone the cost of an actual solution.
Here’s how much his administration has claimed a water system replacement would cost in the past few months alone:
“Three years, 13 deaths, dozens sickened and Bruce Rauner is still grasping at straws instead of presenting any semblance of a concrete solution to end the Legionnaires’ crisis,” said Pritzker campaign spokeswoman Jordan Abudayyeh. “This is fatal mismanagement as a failed governor refuses to take charge and protect the lives of our state’s heroes.”
