USPS - lack of service - ChicEco - 12-03-2008
I hope someone will tell me where to post this topic, as there's much to discuss. Is it politics?

Rob, you may want to talk to my wife, 24 years of dealing with the USPS. She got to know some of the people at the national level, but she also knows how things work there.

They deliver mail to the bottom of the Grand Canyon by mule team.

It’s my understanding the our letters carriers [at least in Hawaiian Beaches] are private contractors and are not government employees. The person that delivers our mail dose a pretty good job but I have heard some ugly stories about other areas. Especially in those areas that have the “box” delivered mail.

Legal action seems appropriate.
I learned a/ 8 years ago that FedEx was contracted to deliver mail they couldn't keep up with.
I'm less than 5 miles from the Pahoa post office and mostly paved roads. It's rediculous. What happend to delivery regardless of rain, sleet and snow?
The schools in Kentucky were closed if weather was bad, but only one emergency state (a severe ice storm that disabled electricity) in more than 40 years is all I ever witnessed a postal closing. That was just a few days, as the postal service was back in order before the electricity was!

Will HI State/County Revenue send me tax bills by email? How about Federal IRS?
Seems they have to find some notification way for me to pay the taxes that are suppose to help pay for government postal services.
This is true crazy politics!
