The House Subcommittee on the Federal Workforce, U.S. Postal Service, and Labor Policy led by Congressman Dennis Ross (R-FL) issued a news release citing the wrong financial figures for USPS. USPS announced a $2.2 billion net loss for the three months ending March 31 but the Ross subcommittee cited in its news release that it was $2.6 billion– a $400 million dollar difference. Well, the subcommittee quietly corrected the numbers AFTER the hearing on May 12, 2011.
This is from the original news release:
WASHINGTON– Four major mailing industry representatives will testify tomorrow morning to the postal service subcommittee of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on challenges facing that industry. Yesterday the United States Postal Service announced that it lost $2.6 billion in the three months ending March 31.
Actually USPS announced a $2.2 billion net loss for FY second quarter.
The U.S. Postal Service ended the second quarter of this fiscal year (Jan. 1 – March 31, 2011) with a net loss of $2.2 billion, compared to a net loss of $1.6 billion for the same period in FY 2010.
Here is an photo image of the corrected news release:
The Dennis Ross “postal reporter tweeps” are closely watching this committee..
Ross is still a lying piece of Republican sh#t.
Open your eyes and realize what actually happened, some staffer did a typo and instead of just correcting it in an above board way they tried to just slip it under the rader which is just the way these people operate.
LSW of course everyone makes mistakes let’s see how this website handles their mistake, lol
Ross isn’t making a mistake. He’s a f**king liar like all the Teabag a**holes.
Take a good look at the photo images you posted. Looks like Dennis Ross isn’t the only person who can make a mistake.
Ross is another piece of sh*t, corporate shill in a long line of piece of sh*t, corporate shills.
