UNDATED (Wisconsin Radio Network-WSAU) – Senator Tammy Baldwin is calling for an investigation of newly appointed Postmaster General Louis DeJoy. The Washington Post reported earlier this week that he’s ordering postal carriers to intentionally slow down mail service.
“It’s wrong for President Trump’s new Postmaster General to direct letter carriers to leave mail behind and delay delivery,” Baldwin said.
The Post report said that packages from Amazon and regular citizens are being left behind at post offices if larger, bulky items are going to slow down deliveries of other parcels. Baldwin says she’s seen pictures of that in the Oak Creek mail facility in southeast Wisconsin.
Baldwin says Louis DeJoy is a big donor to President Trump and that his policies are going to hurt people. “I’ve heard from Wisconsin Postal Service workers and many constituents who are concerned about these new policies and I share their concerns.”
Funding for the U.S. Postal Service and delivery standards have been campaign issues in 2020 with more states expanding mail-in balloting.
