Sen. Mark Green of Clarksville has put forward his first bill before being officially sworn into office, and it’s one to help veterans find jobs.

“One of our first priorities is to make sure that the veterans in our community have not only a voice but an easier transition from military life back into the private sector,” Green said in a news release.
