CNN: “The White House is working to quickly fill the vacant seats on the Postal Service Board of Governors. ‘President Biden has made clear his feelings on the current leadership of the Postal Service and the challenges it faces, and his team is working as quickly as possible to fill board vacancies so the USPS can effectively fulfill its vital mission for the country, and live up to the commitments made to its workers,’ Biden spokesperson Michael Gwin told CNN. As the administration works to assure lawmakers with promises of action, another Democratic lawmaker is putting pressure on President Joe Biden to remove embattled Postmaster General Louis DeJoy.”
“In a letter sent Friday, Massachusetts Rep. Ayanna Pressley slammed DeJoy for his ‘failed leadership,’ accusing him of sabotaging the agency through changes that slowed down mail delivery. ‘DeJoy continues to compromise the people’s ability to receive everything from paychecks to life-saving medication, with new delay tactics and higher postage rates,’ Pressley wrote, calling for a complete overhaul of leadership at the agency. ‘The current Board of Governors has been complicit in the systematic deterioration of the USPS, a blatant dereliction of duty that requires swift removal and replacement.'”
