House vote restores Congress control of post office reform
The House approved a postal reform bill by 384 to 11 to reassert congressional oversight of the U S Postal Service. It would shift the postmaster general appointment back to the president, abolish the board of governors, and grant veto over service cuts and rate decisions while keeping an open-ended public service appropriation. The measure faces Senate uncertainty.
