“Let us remember that it is a service. No business that I can think of would ever be saddled with what we've done to the Postal Service,” Speaker Nancy Pelosi says as the House is set to vote on sending $25 billion to the Postal Service.
Members of the House will vote on legislation Saturday morning to allocate $25 billion to the US Postal Service and ban operational changes that have slowed mail service around the country.
The bill is expected to pass largely along party lines, with Democrats supporting it. House GOP leaders are actively pushing their members to oppose the legislation, and it is not likely to be under consideration in the Republican-held Senate. On the eve of the vote, the White House threatened to veto the bill.
