Carter proposes citizen rate for postal service
The Postal Service backs a two tier rate charging citizens 13 cents an ounce for first class mail and businesses 16 cents. The plan heads to hearings by the Postal Rate Commission, a process that could take ten months. President Carter bets most Americans won’t grasp who pays higher rates and Postmaster General Bailor supports the move amid deficits and service cuts.
