The U.S. Postal Service is apparently ending its contract for air service that supports priority and express mail in Montana and focusing on ground transportation, prompting the ire of Sen. Jon Tester.
Tester sent a scathing letter to Postmaster General Louis DeJoy on Thursday.
“I write today to express my concerns about the sudden decision to end air service for priority and express mail in Montana,” Tester said. “At a time when Montanans are already reporting unacceptably inconsistent delivery from the USPS, cutting air transportation will further degrade mail service in our rural state. Once again, it appears that the USPS is turning its back on rural America and attempting to solve its budget woes on the backs of our nation’s rural citizens.”
