Unknown if any of the Portage County Postal Services are closing or not.

That's right, screw the taxpayers, but keep that junk mail that everybody throws away without reading, coming at all costs!

Eliminating one day of delivery would have made more sense and saved more money.

With smart phones, iPads, and laptops I can get info instantly. And now the Postal service wants to SLOW down their delivery by one day? What a brilliant business plan!

The Postal Service just sped up their demise by 10 years by this stupid move.

I would agree with eliminating Saturday delivery...but the junk mail and Netflix people were having a fit over that, so this is what they get.

My one thought is, why is our government charged with delivering junk to us we don't want? Especially this season. I do not recall ever getting as much junk mail and catalogs as I have this season. Most of this junk goes directly into the garbage and then I have to pay someone to haul it away.

Why does business use our mail service for sending us material? Because it's CHEAP. I think I received 4 Cabela's catalogs just this season, with at least 8 catalogs for the entire year. This doesn't even include the sales flyers they send. And that is just one merchant among dozens of others we do not buy from anymore. I even had the owner of a home we lived in a few years ago deliver junk mail to me (in a large zippered freezer bag) that was sent to our old address! The Postal Service doesn't even bother to check the name anymore. They just deliver to the address. In other words, the taxpayer pays for all this junk mail to be delivered to us, they pay for the higher prices due to the cost of the mailings, then the taxpayer pays for it to be hauled away!

Go get um UPS and Fedex. This USPO is just another government bailout program. Let the private enterprise companies take over and if they screw up theire will be someone else to take their place as long as there is a way to make a profit. No more subsidies, no more exiborant pensions and healthcare plan. Either you make a profit or you ride off into the sunset.
