State Senator Andre Jacque says there is plenty of unfinished business last year that he can resume when the new session begins on January 6th. Before the holidays, Jacque learned he would serve as the chairman of the Senate Committee on Natural Resources, Veterans and Military Affairs. His other assignments include serving on the   Senate Committee on Judiciary & Public Safety,  Senate Committee on Agriculture and Revenue,  Senate Committee on Licensing, Regulatory Reform and State & Federal Affairs, and the State Building Commission. Continuing his work from sessions that included legislation exempting military pay from taxation and expanding the property tax credit for disabled veterans and surviving spouses, Jacque says he wants to help Wisconsin become one of the most veteran-friendly states in the country.

Echoing Rep. Joel Kitchens from earlier this month, Jacque hopes there is room for compromise and bipartisanship with slimmer Republican majorities in the Assembly and Senate.
