House Oversight chair introduces bill to freeze Postal Service changes amid coronavirus pandemic

House Oversight and Reform Committee Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.) on Wednesday introduced legislation that would block the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) from implementing a series of changes amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The Delivering for America Act would prevent USPS from instituting shifts to its operations or to the level of service that was in place at the beginning of 2020.

The bill comes as Maloney and other Democrats increasingly speak out against the decisions made at USPS during a year in which the presidential election will rely more heavily on mail-in voting.
