Government Executive: Several senators are calling for major changes at the U.S. Postal Service after a report found the agency underestimated its delayed mail by 2 billion pieces. One lawmaker went as far as to say anyone involved in the cover-up should be fired.
The delays cost the Postal Service $85 million, the USPS inspector general found in an August report. The auditors tested the accuracy of the Postal Service’s reported delays at several facilities across the county and extrapolated the findings out to come up with the 2 billion figure over the course of one year. The agency considers mail delayed when it is “not processed in time to meet the established delivery day.”
