The recent postage increase is just settling in and already they are already talking about another one.
In fact, it’s possible that a case regarding a postage increase of 5.4% for next year may be filed with the Postal Board of Governors as soon as next month.
Postmaster General John E. Potter explained that the 5.4% postage rate increase is to avoid a “rate shock” with an extremely large increase.
He also added that the increase is necessary to offset increasing costs, which have risen by billions of dollars annually.
It's time to again look at changing the laws that have created a monopoly, and to allow private competition.
