EXCERPT: “The U.S. Postal Service is planning to make changes that could result in slower service to rural areas. The proposal, announced Aug. 22, would adjust mail delivery times while maintaining a commitment to a maximum five-day delivery for the flagship Ground Advantage program nationwide and a maximum three-day delivery for local first-class mail. USPS said the changes would save $3 billion annually. The details were unveiled by the Postal Service ahead of a Sept. 5 meeting in which the proposed changes will be discussed with stakeholders before they are submitted to the Postal Regulatory Commission. Election mail and holiday shipments won’t be affected because the proposed changes would not take place until the next calendar year, officials said.” FULL STORY: https://fluence-media.co/4g5pQhf
