Washington Congressional leaders demand answers to postal delays

The complaint line for mail delivery problems is getting a lot of calls these days. Those calls go to the post office, our office at KOMO News, and congressional offices.

A handful of viewers called KOMO all in one day, complaining about slow or no mail delivery, so KOMO News went to check it out.

One woman who's 88 told KOMO she gets all of her medications in the mail, but Lee Wallott said she's only had one day of mail delivery in the past two weeks. She finally had a friend go to her post office and pick up mail for her.

KOMO took her complaint to the senior public relations person with the Post Office here in Washington state. Kim Frum told KOMO that there was a substitute carrier on that route, who didn’t know that Wallott had been granted a hardship and her mail was to be delivered to her house.

Self-serving sycophant of Trump with a goal of sabotaging the PO for two reasons: his own gain and loyalty to Trump.

Destroying mail sorting machines worth million$ and going back to manual labor.

Surely there must be a cost-benefit analysis to make such a business decision. Let's see it.
