ALBANY – A bill that will give veterans preference for temporary state jobs that the state normally fills with employees from for-profit temporary services company has been signed into law by the governor.

The bill was sponsored by Senator Gregory Ball (R, Patterson), chairman of the Senate Veterans, Homeland Security and Military Affairs Committee.

“We jump through hoops to prepare young men and women to enter into the military, but once they finish their service there is often very little transition back into civilian life,” Ball said. “Many of our servicemen and woman find this transition very difficult and often times can’t find meaningful employment upon their return. This new law will help lead our unemployed veterans into the workforce.”

1. Yes!

Even though I have had to rely on temp jobs before, I believe it's more important to help veterans in need. My father was in the Army. We've got to help people.
