On August 17, 2020, warning that destructive changes to the U.S. postal service continue without reprieve, U.S. Senator Charles Schumer, who has been leading efforts to undo these changes, pushed new actions against Postmaster DeJoy and the policies being implemented to undermine the U.S. postal service. Standing at the U.S. Post office in Auburn, New York, Schumer also demanded DeJoy be in U.S. Senate hearings this week as he drives legislation to force the postmaster to “back off.” Schumer’s plan would reverse changes now slowing down the mail and would also ensure our mail-in ballots are treated as First Class priority. Schumer said he has warned DeJoy 1:1, highlighted problems across New York, including Central New York, but now the Senate needs to act in an immediate way if the attack on the USPS might stop.
