SC Nebraska News

Rep. Adrian Smith (R-NE) criticized the United States Postal Service (USPS) for transferring operations from North Platte, NE to Denver, CO. Smith expressed his disappointment, stating that the decision would negatively impact rural Americans, including Nebraska communities, businesses, and seniors who heavily rely on USPS services for prescription medicines. Smith highlighted his concerns over potential delays and inefficiencies due to the transfer. The USPS move disregarded objections raised by Smith and the affected communities, repeating a pattern seen in previous consolidations. Smith emphasized the importance of restoring customer confidence and urged USPS to prioritize service improvement to address its fiscal challenges and fulfill its duty to all Americans.
