Carper’s priorities were more on delivery of wine and beer thru the USPS. Come on Carper.
It’s time to innovate the USPS thru a blue ribbon committee on making the USPS a first class service to the American public. I agree with Rich.
Get Congress off their behinds and get this done!
Also, stop shilling for current mgmt (Donohue). USPS needs a visionary POSTAL CZAR!!!

Looking at the progression of events since last spring/summer, when the PMG appeared before Congress and stated the PO just needed their money returned to them and that would solve everything — there would appear to have developed a well-orchestrated campaign by a determined bloc in Congress, with the PMG signing on wholeheartedly, that is intent on doing precisely what you’ve said: dismantle the Postal Service, so that it can be privatized…..given Congress’ inability to agree on virtually anything, this has the ominous feeling of being a DONE DEAL.

i think carper is “in bed” with donahoe and his cronies. why not just respect the law and have pmg pat “dona-idiot” wait until after the prc issues its non-binding advisary opinion? if the post office dosen’t want to consolidate during the fall mailing season then wait till january.
the problem is not with the postal regulatory commission but with donahoe and his “hitler” mentality that everything be his way or the highway and on his schedule. as others pointed out, carper- a bonafide member of the slowest, most incompetent, sluggish orginization on earth, our wonderful congress telling someone to hurry up is laughable!!!!

Mr. Carper has been doing his best to discredit the PRC. The fact is that the Postal Service created a delay in N2012-1 by not filing sooner. They new at least three months earlier that their plans would require an advisory opinion but they chose not to file. The supposed delays in the five-day case would appear to be justified if one reads the opinion carefully. The Postal Service offered sloppy numbers that have been shown to be inaccurate both by the PRC and independent review of the GAO.
If one examines the requests for late filings, the majority are filed on behalf of the USPS.
Mr. Carper is pushing the PMGs agenda and it’s clear why they’re in a hurry – the current problems are clearly result of the PAEA (Carper’s bill) and absent the prefunding the problems are not nearly as bad as portrayed by the PMG. There’s a hurry to get to a point of no return in dismantling the Postal Service, a point which ultimately leads to privatization.
