Issa Reaches Out to Democrats on Postal Reform

House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) is reaching out across the aisle for suggestions on his new discussion draft to revamp the U.S. Postal Service (USPS).

Some Democrats working on postal reform initially cast a skeptical note on Issa’s discussion draft, with the ranking member at Oversight, Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), saying he had “serious reservations.” But both Cummings and Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.), the chairman of the Senate Homeland Security panel, also applauded Issa for moving the ball forward on postal reform.
