On Wednesday, Nevada Senators Jacky Rosen and Catherine Cortez Masto joined a bipartisan group of legislators in expressing their opposition to recent plans proposed by the U.S. Postal Service.
Members of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives expressed their concern over the recent consolidation and review announcements made by the USPS. They argued that these announcements could have a detrimental impact on the reliability of mail service for postal networks nationwide, including in northern Nevada. The representatives conveyed their concerns to Postmaster General Louis DeJoy.

According to the Members, many recent announcements have focused on the “modernization” of Processing and Distribution Centers, transforming them into Local Processing Centers. They argue that these proposals are actually dismantling important parts of the Postal Service’s network, which plays a crucial role in distributing mail nationwide and sorting outgoing mail in closer facilities. As a consequence, mail will have to travel longer distances from its point of origin to its sorting location, leading to inefficiencies, particularly for local mail.
Senators Rosen and Cortez Masto have voiced their strong opposition to the proposed relocation of mail processing operations from Reno to Sacramento. Their concerns primarily revolve around the potential negative consequences it may have on both the reliability of mail services and the local job market.
