Waiting for your mail? Medicine deliveries? Paychecks or bills? Hundreds of South Dakotans have been experiencing frustration with the U.S. Postal Service across the state – and if Sen. Mike Rounds’ hunch is correct, the problem may be region-wide.
“What we are learning so far, anecdotally is: number one, it appears that the regional centers have some mechanical issues in terms of just the mechanics of the machinery itself—don’t work as well as they should.” Rounds told the Capital Journal in a sit-down interview last week. “Number two, there were contract carriers for years where you had local contractors who had accountability for what they did in the local area. A lot of those local contractors have now been replaced by larger, more regional or national contractors who then subcontract back out in local areas.”
The scope of the problem is still being revealed.
