Postmaster General Urges Efficiency Overhaul Amid Postal Deficit
The annual Postmaster General report cites a 14.6 million deficit driven by rural delivery expansion and unaudited waste. It argues for stronger central oversight, guarded rate reform, and priority on improving existing service. Fraud orders rise but enforcement tightens, while wages and pneumatic tube service face calls for modernization and possible government ownership. The railway mail system expands with safety improvements and calls for legislative action to curb superannuated staff.
