Mail delays continue to be a problem in Georgia. Service performance scores have improved since bottoming out in March, but they are still very poor, and they’re the lowest in the nation by far.
At a contentious Senate hearing on April 16, Senator Jon Ossoff of Georgia questioned Postmaster General DeJoy about the persistent delays that followed the opening of the new regional processing center in Palmetto, outside of Atlanta. DeJoy said it would take about 60 days for scores to return to normal. Ossoff told DeJoy that if the problem weren’t fixed in weeks, not months, “I don’t think you’re fit for this job.”
