Congressmen Send Letter to Postal BOG Requesting Pause in Rate Increases:

Congressmen Gerry Connolly (D-VA-11)and Jake LaTurner (R-KS-2) sent a letter to the Postal Service Board of Governors on September 5 requesting a pause on its current approach to increasing rates on mailers. They also asked the Board to inform them on 1) any variance on projections for mail volume the USPS will lose due to its current rate approach; 2) any alternatives that would preserve mail volume; and 3) whether the USPS will seek two additional rates increases in 2024.
