“Mr. Speaker, this is going to be the third time if it passes--and I hope it will--that we pass this bill out of the House. This bill has a Senate companion, and, Mr. Speaker, it is a bipartisan Senate companion. I want to mention the sponsors: Senator Rick Scott, Senator Joni Ernst, and Senator Alex Padilla. It deals with a lot of issues that we have already heard about, but it is important to note that those are not small issues for those communities. They are problematic issues. We have heard from mayors, local elected officials, and constituents for many, many years--I think all of us that this bill is dealing with--but I am referring particularly to Miami Lakes in Miami-Dade County. Unfortunately, the Postal Service has done nothing about it. Miami Lakes alone has gone through the USPS' boundary review process three times to no avail, which is, again, unfortunate.”
