Postal Rates Exempt From Price Controls
Washington AP reports the Cost of Living Council exempted postal rates from price controls while allowing a 23.9 percent increase in third class mail rates under review. The council kept pay for postal workers and all state and local employees under the Pay Board, and lifted most state local fee controls to avoid tax hikes, with caution on inflation. New USPS independence means rate hikes must justify costs and productivity gains without fueling inflation.
