Postal rates rise as legal victory clears hike
A three judge U S Circuit Court of Appeals panel upheld a lower court order allowing the Postal Service to raise mail rates by about 1 45 billion annually, effective at midnight Sunday, despite challenges from ANPA and MPA. The plan increases first class 6 to 8 cents, air mail 19 to 11 cents, and other classes with varied changes. The court rejected claims the rate hike required further steps before July 1 and noted hearings by the Postal Rate Commission would begin soon. About 5 million new stamps were printed and distributed during the maneuver.
