A spokesperson for the United States Postal Service said that '97 percent of the nation’s population receives their mail in less than three days, and we are working hard to correct service-related issues in other limited areas.'
WASHINGTON - Town Manager Dara MacDonald of Crested Butte, Colorado, which has a population of fewer than 2,000 people, has been talking to the Post Office since 2018 to try to get mailing problems fixed in her community. She blames many of the issues on personnel shortages.
“Crested Butte joined with 6 other Colorado municipalities to pursue understanding our options to file a complaint about the subpar service that we’ve all been receiving for years now. We have received an analysis on how we could approach the Postal Regulatory Commission to pursue complaints. And now, we’re all evaluating what potential next steps might look like,” she said.
Congress took steps to make the U.S. Postal Service more financially viable when it passed the bipartisanlast year. Yet, Sen. Welch said more needs to be done and he expects Postmaster Louis DeJoy to lead the efforts.
