In response to today’s settlement of the Anna Veterans’ Home workplace case, which was settled at ‘nuisance value’ and is based on an agreement of no finding of any violation of the law, deputy campaign manager Matt McGrath issued the following statement:
“Today’s resolution is appropriate for what was always a frivolous workplace case that dragged on over eight years and was dismissed in whole or in part multiple times, and Tammy appreciates the hard work and professionalism of the lawyers in the Attorney General’s office. Tammy has and always will put protecting our Veterans first, and she has never hesitated to hold others accountable.
“Meanwhile, the Kirk campaign — which has lied about this case as frequently and as colorfully as Senator Kirk lied about his military record — needs to come clean. Senator Kirk himself falsely suggested it involved patronage hiring and ‘goombahs’ — whatever that means. His campaign also lied when they said the case was about Tammy endangering Veterans’ care, and when they suggested taxpayers were on the hook for a six figure settlement. Kirk had clearly pinned his desperate campaign hopes on what a federal judge deemed a ‘garden variety workplace case,’ and now it’s clear he’s got nothing left to offer Illinois families.” — Matt McGrath, campaign spokesman
