Proposed Legislation Floating Around Senate Could Make It Easier To Close Post Offices

From the National League of Postmasters

September 10, 2010

Draft legislative provisions are floating around the Senate that 1) eliminate the prohibition against closing, for financial reasons only, small rural post offices and 2) gut the statutory Post Office Closing Provisions that are designed to protect rural communities.

The League believes that such provisions are not in rural America’s best interest, and will do what is necessary to see that these provisions do not become law. We will be monitoring closely if this draft legislative provision becomes a bill and gains sponsorship. The League will provide updates on any change in the status of this important Legislative issue.

  1. Walk these out-of-touch generation X politicians through a postal museum. Explain to them why Rural Free Delivery came about. It too had to do with financial consideration. Who and what gave money to these legislator’s campaign accounts?

  3. I will close all post offices that I feel is in the best interest of the postal service. So let it be said. so let it be done.
