The Veterans’ Affairs Department took no action on the August 2016 report by Belleville-based BRiC Partnership. Veterans’ Affairs spokesman Dave MacDonna said Friday that the agency has followed advice from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That was included in the BRiC report, too, costing $800,000. After Rauner’s visit, BRiC was asked to update its report to consider replacing plumbing in all campus buildings, not just those used by the most vulnerable residents. That report, issued earlier this month, put an $11.2 million price tag on plumbing replacement.
