The House Passes a Bill to Overhaul the Postal Service’s Finances and Operations
Long-awaited legislation overhauling the Postal Service’s finances and operations sailed through the House Tuesday.
The bipartisan legislation passed the chamber in a 342-92 vote, despite controversy over the head of the Postal Service that had threatened to tank Republican support for the legislation.+
“This bill is an agreement to fix some of the serious problems that have been looming over the Post Office for years and threatening its financial stability,” said Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.), one of the lawmakers leading the legislation.
