McKee has staffing choices to make when he moves into governor s office
PROVIDENCE By the end of this week, Lieutenant Governor Dan McKee may see his seven-member staff swell to more than 50.
That includes the 40-plus employees on current Gov. Gina Raimondo s $4-million office payroll at salaries ranging from $43,153 to $193,758, plus the handful reporting to her who are on the payrolls of other state agencies.
For example: McKee, who is queued up to take over as governor when Raimondo wins anticipated confirmation as President Joe Biden s commerce secretary, has his own chief of staff. So does Raimondo.
McKee s chief of staff is former Cumberland Police Chief Anthony Silva, who previously headed the Rhode Island Division of Motor Vehicles.
