Sirica Nixes Postal Rate Increase Delay
Federal Judge John J. Sirica rejected the Postal Service motion to stay his order freezing postage rates. He ruled the service failed to follow legal requirements in seeking the increase due to take effect December 28, warning no rate hike can occur until compliance is achieved. Postmaster General Bailor said keeping current rates could keep the system $200 million in the red monthly while the DOJ decides on an appeal.
