New Citizens' Mail Rate Proposed Amid Postal Increases
The Postal Service backs a new Citizens' rate as a subset of first class mail, adding 13-cent stamps for personal use while a 22 percent overall rate hike is approved. Regular first class would rise from 13 to 16 cents, with the commission delaying implementation to May 1978. Critics say the plan masks higher costs and shifts burdens to consumers, offering little real relief.
