Complaints about missing or delayed mail have become increasingly common since new Postmaster General Louis DeJoy took office in mid-June with a mandate to cut costs.
During testimony to the House Oversight Committee, DeJoy said there was a "temporary service decline, which should not have happened, we are fixing this."
