With regards to the issue of postal “reform,” the DMANF has long favored reform of laws governing the United States Postal Service to do the following: keep rates reasonable for nonprofits through a tight rate index; maintain universal service including six-days-per-week delivery; and provide a strong regulatory body to ensure rates are fair and to provide due process should the USPS try to spiral rates upward. Recently, the mailing community has had another reason to support reform: the new cost for providing a Civil Service Retirement System escrow and a military service pension would be taken out through legislation, which is at least a $3 billion annual savings.
