"U.S. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy's plan to make some mail service 'permanently slower' is not exactly popular.
"Paul Steidler, senior fellow at the Lexington Institute and an expert on the postal service, recently described the new U.S. Postal Service policies 'disastrous,' adding that mail service will be slower in the 2020s than in the 1970s.
"The question is what, if anything, can be done about this. As NPR reported, a sizable group of attorneys general has an idea.
"Attorneys general in 19 states & the District of Columbia filed an administrative complaint Thursday seeking to block U.S. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy's 10-year budget-cutting plan that includes slower deliveries, more expensive mailing rates & reduced hours for post offices.
"The complaint brought by the 20 attorneys general demands that the Postal Regulatory Commission thoroughly review DeJoy's plan in detail before fully rolling out the proposed changes that will affect service nationwide.
"The process would allow U.S. Postal Service customers to provide comments during a hearing before the commissioners."
