Biden Nominates 3 To Postal Service Board Of Governors, Putting Pressure On Postmaster General

President Joe Biden on Wednesday nominated three postal experts to the governing board of the U.S. Postal Service, a move that could alter the course of an agency grappling with delivery delays and rumored cuts under its embattled Republican leader.

If confirmed by the Senate, the Board of Governors nominees would bring additional Democratic scrutiny on Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, a major GOP donor whose tenure has been mired by slow service and politicization.

The nominees are Ron Stroman, a former deputy postmaster general; Amber McReynolds, a mail voting advocate who leads the nonprofit National Vote at Home Institute; and Anton Hajjar, the former general counsel of the American Postal Workers Union. A White House announcement of the move came just after a long and sometimes tense congressional hearing with DeJoy about the agency’s ailing financial health.

I love the USPS, may it forever wave. If only they could restore the door-to-door delivery the greedy bastards have managed to eliminate from so many neighborhoods. SUCH a wonderful, luxurious, healthy and community-enriching amenity that costs so little and gives so much.

Where are the wealthy, well connected business-types? What about the people who made huge contributions and fund raised for Biden? And the lobbyists?
