Post Office Cancellations

Your article concerning the building freeze on new post offices (April 10), which Sen. Barbara Boxer says we need and the post office says we can’t afford, was timely. That same day I received a letter advising me that P.O. box rents were being aligned with actual costs. The resulting “modest increase” for my box location was over 31%. Perhaps the answer is to simply staff more of the service windows in current post offices.
