Postal reform plan would boost subsidies and reshape service
A House bill by Hanley and Wilson proposes raising the public service subsidy from 926 million to over 2 billion dollars to preserve current services including Saturday mail. It would strip Congress of much independence, restore presidential control of the postmaster general, and give legislators power to veto rate increases. Floor action is expected in February as lawmakers decide how to address rising costs and operational changes.
