Improve the customer service at the post office

1. Stop the post office from basing letter carriers farther from their customers. This costs added gasoline money and delays mail. It also degrades the level of service to customers. Letter carriers should be based at the nearest post office to their delivery addresses.

2. Add new services to the post office like simple banking, paying traffic tickets, issuing hunting and fishing licenses. Allow the post office to offer internet services and sell affordable cell phones.

3. End the drastic pre funding of retiree healthcare benefits as mandated in the PAEA of 2006.

4. Improve service standards. In a world that is moving faster and faster the post office needs to keep up with the times and offer quicker delivery standards.

5. Expand, modernize and end the corporate lead movement to privatize the US Postal Service. Keep our city post offices open with carrier stations. End the pilot program with Staples office products stores and offer copy machines at the post office.

Why is this important?

Now is not the time to dismantle the US Postal Service. It is time to expand it and offer new services.
