Mail Rate Hike In House Seeks Higher Postal Charges
The House voted 98 to 50 to add a surcharge on publications mailing over 500000 copies sought by Rep. Ken Hechler. The move would lift the minimum postage from 1 cent to 1.6 cents over three years, affecting Life Newsweek Time and others. A separate bid for 25 percent red tag charges failed, and rural electric cooperatives would face nonprofit lower rates. The bill then contemplated raising third class bulk rates to 4.5 cents, with next January’s rate at 3.8 cents.
