Senator Dick Durbin is demanding urgent action after a federal judge may have contracted Legionnaires’ disease from the Dirksen Federal Courthouse’s water system, citing the GSA’s slow response and inadequate safeguards. Durbin accuses the agency of relying on superficial fixes instead of implementing comprehensive water treatment measures sooner, while the GSA defends its position by urging courts to focus on caseloads and dismissing concerns as unsupported speculation. With health risks still unconfirmed and the investigation ongoing, Durbin is pushing for immediate accountability and safety upgrades to protect courthouse workers and visitors.
