Sanders Leads Push to Change Senate Postal Bill

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said Monday that he hoped Republicans would join him in pushing for changes to a measure overhauling the U.S. Postal Service’s operations. Sanders has led the charge in recent days to alter the bipartisan Senate postal bill, and has said that he has concerns that USPS is pressing to make modifications that would hurt rural communities and eliminate jobs.

“At a time when the Postal Service is facing very significant financial problems from e-mail and the Internet, slowing down mail delivery service does not make any sense at all,” Sanders said Monday.
