House passes bill to reform Postal Service operations
By Cristina Marcos - 02/08/22 06:46 PM EST
The House on Tuesday passed bipartisan legislation that would make long-sought financial and operational reforms to the U.S. Postal Service, which has struggled with pandemic-induced mail delivery delays.
Lawmakers passed the bill 342-92, with 120 Republicans joining all Democrats in support.
A bipartisan agreement to overhaul the Postal Service had long eluded lawmakers, until last year when House Oversight and Reform Committee Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.) and the panel’s top Republican, Rep. James Comer (Ky.), unveiled the proposal the House passed on Tuesday.
“Today’s historic bipartisan vote brings us one step closer to finally putting the Postal Service on a sound financial footing so it can continue serving all Americans for years to come,” Maloney said.
