Government Accountability Office U.S. Postal Report: Senator Tester Responds

Senator Jon Tester released the following statement after the Government Accountability Office released its report on the effects of the U.S. Postal Service’s changes to mail delivery standards:

“Reducing mail delivery standards reduces Americans’ faith in the Postal Service and jeopardizes the Service’s future.  This report shows what almost everyone outside the Postal Service already knows: the Service’s efforts to reduce delivery standards are keeping families and businesses from getting the services they need and the effects are being felt throughout rural America.  I will keep working to improve the Postal Service so that it can provide the services that Montanans and all Americans expect and deserve.”

Senator Tester is a member of the Senate’s Governmental Affairs Committee that oversees the Postal Service.
