USPS-Myths & Matters

Posted on August 19, 2020 by Curtis Greco

In 1988, long before Mr. Trump was President, I was part of a team that worked on a review of the US Postal Service the focus, the short version, of which was to evaluate the overall efficiencies of the system and to make recommendations for their improvement.
