WASHINGTON – U.S. Postmaster Louis DeJoy has proposed slower rural mailndelivery to save money. His plan would shift resources to three-day delivery for local first-class and five-day delivery for the national Ground Advantage program. The shift would make rural delivery a lesser priority. The savings would be $3 billion a year, DeJoy said. The decision will be up to the Postal Regulatory Commission. Silent on issue so far have been Congressman Brad Finstad, a Republican from largely rural southern Minnesota, and Congressman DerrickVan Orden a Republican from largely rural southwest Wisconsin.
