Symphony may be subject to some extra scrutiny. Joliet Mayor Bob O'Dekirk has asked Gov. J.B. Pritzker's staff on Friday to conduct a full investigation into "the mess that happened at the Symphony of Joliet nursing home."

"Joliet families and people who lost a loved one have a right to get those answers," O'Dekirk said. "We don't have answers right now but we are going to get the answers."
