Establish a moratorium on Postal Service facility & office closures, pending review of actual savings vs estimates.

Created by C.W. on December 08, 2011

This deals with the USPS and exaggerated "fuzzy" math the USPS PMG and VP's like to spread using the media to sell the financial benefit closing facilities across the nation will have.
The actual costs are disguised from the general public in a maze of accounting that the USPS fails to openly disclose.
At particular issue are extended lease obligations the USPS has for many of these facilities with terms that extend years into the future, which the USPS is obligated to pay if the landlord insists the full length of the contract be honored.
Listings of Leased facilities can be found at:

Please join me in requiring the USPS to prove it's claims of cost benefit by disclosing final financial impact of prior implementation.
