“I want to thank everyone for the support and encouragement over my past 24 years in corrections, and particularly the last five serving as RIDOC director,” she said in a statement. “As a lifelong Rhode Islander, I’ve been extremely blessed to have met and worked with so many talented and compassionate people.”
McKee said he plans to name an interim director by Jan. 13. That appointment will require state Senate confirmation.
“I’d like to thank Director Coyne-Fague for her efforts during my administration and her decades of state service,” McKee said. “I look forward to working with her to ensure a smooth transition for this important agency.”
