The protest stems from Buena Vista residents being forced to pay for post office boxes since postal services will not supply home delivery thanks to a survey taken in 1997 that reportedly states that the town was not in favor of free home delivery services.

Since that time post box prices have reached a rate of $166 a month for the smallest post box the local post office can offer.
