Wilcox, who is the minority spokesperson for the Senate Veteran
Affairs Committee, introduced Senate Bill 1445 in direct
response to the handling of the outbreak by state officials.
“The veterans in the LaSalle Veterans' Home protected us when we
needed them, but when they needed us, we failed,” Rezin said
during a news conference Tuesday.
Rezin's bills currently sit with the Senate Committee but so
far, have not moved.
“The fact that these potentially live-saving bills have been
essentially blocked is embarrassing and disrespectful to the
veterans we lost,” Rezin said.
With only a few weeks left in the session, Rezin says there “is
still time to do the right thing” and pass these bills.
