(WJMC, Carl Cooley, WRN) Governor Tony Evers has a new initiative to assist Wisconsin veterans.

Evers was in Chippewa Falls this morning [Monday morning], visiting the Wisconsin Veterans Home. There, he signed an executive order creating his Blue Ribbon Commission on Veteran Opportunity, an act he announced in last week's state of the state address.

The commission will work toward developing comprehensive, long-term efforts to support veterans' health, well-being and success, as well as improve veterans' access to higher education, employment, job training and licensing, and affordable housing.
