Board of Governors, It’s Time for Him to Go!
For far too long, Louis DeJoy, a corrupt Trump supporter who invests in the USPS’s competitors, has remained Postmaster General despite the fact that the Postal Service’s board of governors now consists of four Democrats, four Republicans, and a progressive Independent appointed by Biden.
DeJoy had worked diligently to destroy the post office:
- obstructing mail-in voting
- deliberately slowing down the mail by having mail-sorting machines dismantled, delaying delivery of goods, medicines, and financial instruments; and
- raising prices
The USPS Office of Inspector General reports that operational changes imposed by DeJoy “negatively impacted the quality and timeliness of mail service nationally.”
No, the President Cannot Fire the Postmaster General
As I learned on Twitter, the president can’t fire the postmaster. Only the board of governors can, and with the recent appointment of three members by Biden, it’s time to make this happen!
