Postal Service Eyes Alcohol Deliveries Amid Losses
Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe outlines a plan to deliver beer wine and spirits once allowed by a Senate reform bill. Shipments would follow state laws of origin and destination and require recipients to be 21 with government issued photo ID. The USPS faces 15 billion in losses this year due to declining mail volume and pre paid health care costs for retirees. Package volume rises as mail declines, with the agency seeking cash through new services while reducing debt.
