Postal Service Can’t Cut Saturday Delivery, U.S. GAO Says
Posted in: UncategorizedThe U.S. Postal Service doesn’t have the legal authority to cut Saturday mail delivery as Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe has said it will do, the Government Accountability Office said today.
The service is bound by law to deliver mail six days a week, and is incorrect that a temporary measure recently used to fund U.S. government operations released it from that requirement, the GAO said in a letter to Representative Gerald Connolly, a Virginia Democrat, who requested that the watchdog agency look at the matter.
Some weekly magazine publishers have been exploring alternate delivery methods so the plan to cut Saturday mail delivery wouldn’t put another day in between them and their readers.
