MTM CEO Alaina Macia issued an apology Thursday and said the company is working to resolve issues.
A spokesman for Governor Gina Raimondo told WPRO’s Tara Granahan in an emailed statement that “the issues Rhode Islanders are experiencing with MTM’s service are unacceptable. This program is a vital link to care, meals and social supports, and the administration will stop at nothing to ensure MTM delivers the high-quality service Rhode Islanders deserve.” No public events pertaining to the crisis have been scheduled by the Governor’s office.
