Postage to Rise as USPS Moves Toward Private Style
Washington AP reports the U S Postal Service faces a $2.4 billion deficit this year as it shifts toward a private corporation model. A first class stamp may rise from six to eight cents in April, with wage costs likely pushing higher. A new nine member governors board will be sworn in soon, and a law requires conversion to a semi autonomous, self funding entity by August 12. Collective bargaining starts January 20, and a 2 cent hike could add about $1.5 billion annually, helping break even when Congress subsidizes free mail to the blind.
