State AG joins coalition filing complaint against the USPS

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel recently joined a coalition of 20 attorneys general in submitting a formal complaint asking the Postal Regulatory Commission to order the U.S. Postal Service to request an advisory opinion on Postmaster General Louis DeJoy’s 10-year plan to transform the Postal Service.

“We continue to watch Postmaster General DeJoy make reckless changes to the postal service that only further delay and disrupt operations,” Nessel said. “The Postal Regulatory Commission must reject these efforts by supporting additional scrutiny of the ten-year plan and a proper evaluation of its potential impact to the U.S. Postal Service.”

The attorneys general submitted the complaint and its relevant exhibits to the Postal Regulatory Commission, an independent federal agency that provides transparency and accountability to the Postal Service.

The complaint asserts that Postmaster General DeJoy adopted a 10-year plan that will make significant changes to postal services without first obtaining an advisory opinion from the Commission.

The group writes:

“The plan will transform virtually every aspect of the Postal Service… rework how the Postal Service transports mail and other products; overhaul its processing and logistics network; enact slower service standards for First-Class Mail and Periodicals and First-Class Packages Services; reconfigure the location of places where customers can obtain postal products and services; and adjust rates... To date, the Postal Service has only submitted two requests for an advisory opinion to the commission on important but  narrow changes that represent only a small portion of the Plan’s scope.”
