Georgia’s Senator Jon Ossoff is not happy with the United States Postal Service. Ossoff says that there is no excuse for the extreme delays that have been plaguing the mail service since the opening of a new regional operations center in Georgia.
Ossoff grilled the head of the postal service in a U.S. Senate hearing this week saying that only around 36% of inbound mail is being delivered on time in Georgia. He told Postmaster General Louis DeJoy “I’ve got constituents with prescriptions that aren’t being delivered. I’ve got constituents who can’t pay their rent or mortgages. I’ve got businesses that aren’t able to ship products or receive supplies. You are failing abysmally to fulfill your core mission in my state.”
DeJoy says that the mail service will improve but the USPS needs time to complete the transition to new regional centers. DeJoy said that those issues should be worked out by mid-summer.
But that wasn’t good enough for Senator Ossoff, who told the Postmaster General, “You’ve got weeks, not months to fix this. If you don’t fix it, I don’t think you’re fit for the job.”
