Rockford update

Posted in Politics, plant consolidations by brian on the January 31st, 2006

Given last night’s tragedy in California, not something that will get much attention, but the Rockford Register Star reports that the postal service has agreed to reconsider moving mail processing operations out of Rockford at the behest of the city’s Congressman, Don Manzullo.

What that means is anybody’s guess, given that no formal decision had been announced. It makes you wonder what kind of ‘reform’ we’re in for down the road, though. If Congressmen are now going to make logisitical decisions for the USPS, how long will it be until they start selecting Postmasters again?
