Illinois lawmakers are going to meet again next month in Springfield, in regard to a bipartisan hearing about the deadly Legionnaires’ disease outbreak at a western Illinois veterans’ home. State Senator Tom Cullerton said on Monday that the joint House-Senate hearing will be on February 7th at the state capitol. The hearings have been called to examine the state’s response to the disease, which contributed to the death of 13 residents at the Quincy Illinois Veterans Home since 2015. Also dozens more have been ill from the disease. Cullerton says that he has requested testimony and documents from executives of the home, Governor Bruce Rauner’s office and other public health officials. Rauner stayed at the home earlier this month for sever days and announced that the state will replace the plumbing at the site. Legionnaires’’ is a severe form of pneumonia, which is caused by water-borne bacteria.
