					<description><![CDATA[It has been my experience that when I mail something to a big metropolitan area it takes more days to arrive at the destination.  When I mail a letter locally it usually arrives the next day. 

Wyoming needs local post offices and access to local mail delivery services.  Your proposal does not serve Wyoming residents well.  The existing process has been beneficial for Wyoming. Centralizing services will create less efficiency.  The postal service was created to be a service to the citizens.  The USPS needs to concentrate on serving local communities well.  I see this proposal as greatly flawed.  Rather concentrate on streamlining the local post offices where it is needed.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[USPS is inefficient, so rather than looking inward to increase efficiency, USPS treats rural people  like second class and allows rural mail delivery to be slower than elsewhere. That is government at their very best- Stupid people who can&#039;t fix their own problems without shifting their problems onto others. Want to see efficiency??? Defund USPS. Privatize mail delivery.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Unsaid in the bureaucratese of Mr. Owen&#039;s post is what is being closed and downgraded in WY. Is it true that the proposed changes mean nearly all outgoing mail will be trucked over 100mi to Denver for sorting before forwarding to its final destination; and if that destination is Wyoming, it will be put on a truck headed back to Wyoming for local carrier delivery? To keep supply chains short and timely, even through &quot;rain, snow, sleet, hail&quot; (and resilient despite other traffic delays and foreseeable catastrophes) Wyoming mail should be processed locally in Cheyenne &#038; Casper. What sort of reduced service will our most rural Wyomingites experience from your proposed changes? Timely postal services for rural areas are a core reason the administers the USPS, and we don&#039;t outsource it entirely: it is an important way we keep the country together with consistent service, even hard-to-reach country folk who cost more to serve than DC denizens.

&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Bob - mail in smaller areas/cities/towns all across the USA has been processed in larger cities/areas and then transported back to the city of delivery - not ALL cities, but most cities. This has been the norm for many many years.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[What once was, is no more. We DO need the post offices in rural areas and back-countries.

We DO NOT NEED 6-day per week mail delivery, a general 3-day per week delivery would more than suffice as most people now get paperless bills and 1st class mail in this ever-more digital age.  Independent express carriers (FEDEX, UPS, DHL, etc) are supported by their users and are growing capitalistic companies, not government subsidies.  

To my point and a quote directly from Postmaster General DeJoy, &quot;...our service requirements, facilities infrastructure, business rules and operating practices have continued to reflect a Postal Service designed for three decades ago. However, since 1997, we’ve seen an 80-percent decline in Single-Piece First Class Mail volume...&quot;

We need to change to USPS but NOT in the way (more subsidies) that they propose.]]></description>
