The Coalition for Affordability and Prosperity is calling on the U.S. Postal Service to review and potentially terminate contracts tied to the controversial USPS Ship program, arguing that recent oversight findings and reporting have raised serious concerns about waste, contracting practices, and financial stewardship.
In a letter sent Thursday to Postmaster General David Steiner and obtained by the Washington Reporter, CAP Executive Director Chuck Flint urged USPS leadership to take “immediate action” to address what the group described as wasteful spending associated with the program. Chuck Flint is the former chief of staff for Senator Marsha Blackburn (R., Tenn.) and is considered one of the leading oversight voices in Washington.
The letter comes amid ongoing scrutiny of USPS Ship, a parcel technology initiative that has drawn attention from congressional investigators, watchdogs, and the USPS Office of Inspector General. The Washington Reporter previously reported on concerns surrounding USPS Ship and calls for greater accountability regarding contracts connected to the program.
USPS management is indeed the gang that can’t shoot straight. Steiner was asked about this program and gave the usual “we’re looking at it” response. Meanwhile, millions are wasted and management ranks are ever increasing. This is just the tip of the iceberg of the wasteful spending at the upper levels. They want the PRC gone and the OIG won’t be far behind.
