According to the report, after state Rep. Linda Chapa LaVia became IDVA director, she apparently “abdicated” her responsibilities to her chief of staff Tony Kolbeck. Kolbeck’s heart was in the right place but he should not have been given that job, partly because he didn’t have the requisite knowledge and experience, but also because the administration never appointed a Senior Homes Administrator for the agency. Th at administrator would’ve had the “medical understanding to provide meaningful leadership,” according to the IG report. Kolbeck essentially served as the director, the chief of staff and the Senior Homes Administrator all at once, a near impossibility during “normal” times, let alone during a deadly crisis. After Director Chapa LaVia fi nally quit under pressure, Gov. Pritzker brought in a new acting director. Terry Prince is a buttoned-down 31-year Navy man with an abundance of health care management experience in the Navy and in his last job running Ohio’s veterans’ homes.
