Postmaster General Louis DeJoy stated that the changes are necessary to 'enable us to operate more efficiently and reliably, grow our business and give us a chance for a viable future.' He pointed out that since 1997, first-class mail volume has dropped by 80%, leading to significant financial losses. The adjustments aim to develop a streamlined regional network for better parcel delivery while maintaining an adequate service level for local mail delivery.
Rep. Gerry Connolly expressed serious concerns about the proposed cuts, stating, 'Any effort to degrade service while raising prices is a recipe for a death spiral at the Postal Service.' He emphasized that this move could detrimentally affect service standards, referring to the proposals as reminiscent of outdated delivery methods. Connolly's remarks capture the critique about compromising service quality for financial restructuring.
