Postal Service Board of Governors Must Respond to the Public’s Demands
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) Board of Governors will have its last open meeting for the calendar year today, the only one during which it will accept public comment. Katherine Jones, advocacy associate for Public Citizen, released the following statement:
“Thousands of regular people have urged the USPS Board of Governors to rescind the final rule on mail-in ballots for future elections, protect the postal service against privatization threats, and expand the financial services it offers. The USPS risks becoming a politicized election gatekeeper, and the Board has the authority to make sure that doesn’t happen. The USPS should expand its financial services, which could help nearly 10 million unbanked and underbanked households.”
