ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC) – Minnesota senators Tina Smith and Amy Klobuchar sent a letter to Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, after recent delays in mail service across the state and here at home.
The senators sent the letter of concern following an Inspector General report of more than 130,000 missing or delayed mail pieces over two days, across six post offices in Minnesota and North Dakota.
The senators found reports of mail being delayed four or more days in Rochester.
USPS customer Jim Blackwell has experienced mail delivery issues during the holiday season.
“I have had mail that is come a few days later than I expected. I haven’t had anything that I’ve missed completely. It’s just been on a slower basis,” Blackwell stated.
One USPS customer claimed mail carriers are overworked and not paid well enough. She said the Postmaster General is to blame.
