Washington, D.C. - Rep. Adrian Smith (R-NE) today released a statement following the decision by United States Postmaster General Louis DeJoy to postpone the proposed changes to operations at the North Platte, NE Mail Processing and Distribution Center until January 1, 2025.
Smith said, "This change of plans is welcome news, and I would like to see it produce a turning point in the Postal Service's implementation of our feedback to improve performance. Frankly, rural Americans deserve better than increased delivery delays and inefficiencies. I will continue to monitor the status of delayed changes to the North Platte facility."
In February, Smith had written a letter to Postmaster General DeJoy expressing concerns over the proposed removal of postal operations from the North Platte facility as part of USPS Mail Processing Facility Reviews.
