U.S Postal Service Needs Exigency Rate Extension, Contends Senator Tom Carper

USPS could see a temporary 4.3 percent postal rate increase become permanent. That’s if Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.) gets his way. He came a bit closer to making the exigent rate increase permanent on Wednesday, when three bipartisan senators joined his cause, sponsoring the bill named "Improving Postal Operations, Service, and Transparency Act of 2015 (iPOST)."

DMA and the American Catalog Mailers Association immediately expressed concern.
