RHODE ISLAND, January 19 - PROVIDENCE, RI – Andrea Palagi, Communications Director to Governor Dan McKee, today issued the following statement:

"Today, Governor Dan McKee transmitted his FY24 budget proposal to the General Assembly. At his direction, the budget includes proposals to provide insurance coverage for abortion-related services for state employees and individuals enrolled in Medicaid.
