Postal Rates Rise Sunday
Washington AP reports that unless blocked by a federal judge, the upcoming postal rate hike will raise postcard postage to six cents and letters to eight cents, with air mail at eleven cents. Second and third class and some fourth class rates will rise 10 to 20 percent, along with special delivery and registered mail costs. May 16 boost hinges on Postal Rate Commission review, while a lawsuit led by magazines and newspapers seeks to halt changes until commission action. Judge Bryant may rule early this week, but postal officials expect the increase to stand.
