Collins, delegates
send letter to USPS
U.S. Rep. Mike Collins, who
represents the 10th District, led
a group of Georgia's U.S. House
delegation by sending a letter to
Postmaster General Louis De-
Joy regarding U.S. Postal Service
breakdowns within the state.
The letter states concerns about
issues with mail service through
out Georgia.
One section stated: ???These con
cerns are particularly pertinent din
ing the holiday season as Ameri
cans send letters and gifts to fam
ily and friends. Failing to deliver
those items to our constituents will
produce a not-so-merry Christmas.
Additionally, there are very real
health concerns involved. Many
Americans rely on mail delivery to
receive medications and other life
saving products.???
The letter was signed by 13
members of the delegation ???
eight Republicans and all five
Democrats ??? and requested a re
sponse by Jan. 8.
