Mike Causey's Federal Report: Don't Go Postal Over This
"I thought this might be a good time to run this column
again. Keep in mind that the Post Office this week announced a
major reorganization. Wonder why? Although many rank-and-file
feds don't know it, employees at a number of agencies,
especially those that regulate banks, march to a different
drummer. That drummer, in most cases, pays better than regular
federal agencies. Examples include the Federal Reserve,
Comptroller of the Currency and the FDIC. But the biggest
independent of all, and the one agency that touches nearly all
our lives, is the U.S. Postal Service. And while the USPS is
composed mainly of relatively low-paid clerks and letter
carriers, its officer corps does fine." -

Postal Service Announces Reorganization
"The Postal Service on Monday announced a reorganization that
officials expect to streamline agency operations. The change
will create two "focal points" for the agency, one to deal
with shipping and mailing services and the other to work with
customers and others outside the post office. Robert F.
Bernstock has been hired as president of the newly created
Shipping and Mailing Services Division, Postmaster General
John Potter said. Bernstock has served as president and chief
operating officer of Scotts Miracle-Gro Co., senior vice
president and general manager of the Dial Corp., president and
chief executive of Atlas Commerce and executive vice president
of Campbell Soup Co." USPS: Key Organizational Changes -

Town Protests Post Office Closure
"Today was the last day of the Ripton Post Office, and
the first day of our community protest against its closure. We
gathered at the General Store, as per email and blog planning.
We picked up our mail for the last time, bought coffee and
snacks from Sue and Dick, listened to Bonnie finish her final
sorting, and shared information about the latest developments." -

House committee approves study on ending Saturday mail
delivery
"The House Appropriations Committee today approved an
amendment offered by Congressman Jack Kingston (R/GA-1) that
would require the United States Postal Service to study the
cost-effectiveness and fuel consumption of a five-day delivery
system and consumer demand of Saturday postal delivery. "I've
been trying to get the postal service to end Saturday delivery
for years," Congressman Kingston said. "It's a perfect example
of government waste that is driving up the price at the pump.
I can't think of the last time I got anything but a bill in
the mail and, frankly, those can wait until Monday. Now my
kids get all of their bills by email. What other way can the
government immediately save 20.8 million gallons of gas
thereby reducing consumption and gas prices?"

Committee's Town Hall meeting on June 19 at Toltec Elementary
School. The attendees were anxious to find out just who is
this enigmatic new group called the Arizona City Postal
Committee and to learn of any new developments relating to the
community's continuing frustration with the local contract
postal facility." -

Gas Prices Draining Post Office Fuel Budget
"You could possibly be seeing a change when you receive your
mail. Post offices around the Wiregrass are feeling the same
pain at the pump as many of us and some have already gone over
their fuel budget for the year. As many of us are trying to
find ways to cut back just to get another gallon of gas,
businesses around the Wiregrass are doing the same. They are
cutting back and cutting employees. Christine Ziegler,
postmaster in Ozark, AL said, "They're cutting the employees,
which you know means, we have longer lines, they're not
letting us replace people when they retire or when they
transfer." -
