2008 Postal Rate Increase
By admin on Jan 3, 2008 in Post Office News, Items of Interest
The wheels of government are turning. In 2007, after years of arguing with Congress, the Postal Service was authorized to increase postage rates once a year at an amount no more than the increase in the Consumer Price Index. (The annual increase is modeled on a process used in Canada.) At the moment, however, there’s some acrimonious discussion about whether the date for the increase falls in May of 2008 or January 2009. It’s a cliffhanger!
