Rezin and GOP state Rep. David Welter, both of Morris, said during a virtual news conference Monday that the LaSalle outbreak could be blamed in part on the Pritzker administration’s failure to adopt recommendations made in a March 2019 state audit issued after a series of deadly Legionnaires’ disease outbreaks at the state veterans home in Quincy.
