Tom Carper: “When you are a neighbor, you have to be concerned about this.”

I am the last Vietnam Veteran serving in the U.S. Senate, and kind of relates to my great affection and interest in the postal issues.

People ask me what I am proudest of in my life, and I always say, raising three boys, with a big assist from their mom.

Public engagement can build trust, it can increase public buy-in, can help resolve issues, can help prevent litigation, and ultimately it can save time and money.

We are better off when we hear community concerns at the beginning of the process rather than at the end.
