(the present day cost of next day Express) and, (2) how can communities put up with the power of the USPS to determine which communities will be superior (those cities designated to have mail processing plants will still have next day delivery capacity). Those cities losing their plants will be designated as second-class cities. These two items alone if made public should be enough to make this proposal DOA. This should be a public policy debate suitable for political decision-making, not a ‘proclamation’ by shortsighted postal officials. PRC should say no way Jose!!

If this proceeds, I think this will only accelerate the already declining volumes of first class mail. How about reaffirming our commitment to delivering first class, priority and express mail as quickly as we can. Stop treating standard mail as if it were first class and demanding delivery as priority over first class mail!!

Try teaching supervisors and postmasters some common sense business skills!
