Critics called Postmaster General Louis DeJoy's previous changes at the agency a 'politically motivated attack.'
Postmaster General Louis DeJoy will reportedly unveil a plan on Tuesday to make the U.S. Postal Service even worse than he already has. The move comes as the Senate prepares to consider three nominations by President Joe Biden to the agency's board of governors, which may soon fire the embattled GOP megadonor.
According to the Washington Post, DeJoy will propose a 10-year plan that includes longer delivery times for first-class mail, higher prices for postage, and reduced hours of operation at local post offices. The independent agency has already seen slower delivery times since DeJoy was appointed to the position in May.
The Postal Service is overseen by a board of governors, appointed for a fixed term by the president and confirmed by the Senate. They can be removed only for cause and are the only ones with the power to hire or fire a postmaster general.

(13,871 posts)retirement fund. It's one of the only quasi gov't entities that have to have it's retirement fully funded. Lots of "unused" cash there. IMHO it was the repuke/corporate raider plan from the get go. YMMV
