PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WLNE) — Governor Dan McKee will head to Washington today.
McKee will meet with Tom Perez, Senior Advisor to the President and Director of the White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs to advocate for federal funding to support Rhode Island’s efforts to construct a new Washington Bridge.
