Mike Rounds: “The people of South Dakota depend on the Postal Service for critical communication, medicine and care.”

We have to stay focused on the fact that we know that gas prices are too high, and diesel is way too high.

We’ll be watching the USPS’s team closely to see if and how these recommendations are implemented, and whether they actually make meaningful improvements in delivery time.

I’m grateful to Inspector General Tammy Hull and her team for their thorough review process in South Dakota and their thoughtful recommendations for improvements.

What we can and should do right now is explore suspending the federal gas tax through the end of the year to give Americans immediate relief.
