Postal Service Mail Delays Bother Readers Across States
Readers criticize bulk mail centers for slow delivery from Wisconsin to Houston and delays in newspapers like the Wellington Leader. They cite a National Farmers Union item mailed July 17, 1987 that arrived Aug 21, 35 days later, and note similar issues affecting Texas papers and third class items. The piece blames systemic disorganization and suggests political pressure to fix service.
