Postmaster General Urges Congress to Fix Business Model to Close $20B Gap

Donahoe added: “We need a bridge that gets us all the way to the other side. Half measures are about as useful as half a bridge. We need legislation that, together with our planned changes, confidently enables at least $20 billion in savings by 2016. If not, we go over the edge.”

The Postal Service Five-Year Business Plan provides a roadmap to restore financial stability and preserve affordable mail service for the American public. Much of the savings cannot be achieved without legislative action.
