Post office seeks higher stamp rates to fund escrow
The Postal Service filed a request for a 2-cent rise in first class mail and similar hikes across mail types, lifting regular mail to 39 cents. The increase hinges on a $3.1 billion escrow fund and could be withdrawn if Congress eliminates the requirement. The Rate Commission will hold hearings, taking up to 10 months before any change.
