Rural mail service blamed on USPS cutbacks and misaligned PR
A report by Congressman Keith Sebelius criticizes the U S Postal Service for prioritizing public relations over rural delivery. It cites manpower cuts, reduced window and door service, longer routes through sectional centers, and delayed papers in towns like Ulysses. The GAO cites $1 million spent on air mail ads and a $2.3 million PR budget, including a New York firm, highlighting morale losses among rural residents while urging direct delivery as the remedy.
