More savings planned for postal service
Republican Congressman Darrell Issa plans to offer an amendment that would boost the annual savings in his bill to overhaul the U.S. Postal Service to more than $10 billion, his office said. A draft of the amendment that was viewed by Reuters doubles the amount the agency would have to save by closing mail-processing facilities, phases out delivery to front-door mail slots and reduces the postal work force starting with retirement-eligible workers before laying off other employees, Reuters said.
