‘I don’t think you’re fit for this job’: GA senator gives USPS chief DeJoy an ultimatum – By Carl Gibson (AlterNet) / April 17, 2024
U.S. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy was raked over the coals on Tuesday in a hearing conducted by the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, particularly by Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Georgia).
Georgia’s senior U.S. senator confronted DeJoy — one of former President Donald Trump’s top campaign donors who became head of the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) in 2020 — over persistent mail delays in the Atlanta Metropolitan Area. A vast majority of mail in the area has been delivered late due to DeJoy’s overhaul of the USPS dubbed “Delivering for America.” According to Georgia Public Broadcasting, Ossoff gave DeJoy a direct ultimatum during the hearing.
“You don’t have months to fix 36% of the mail being delivered on time,” Ossoff said. “I’ve got constituents with prescriptions that aren’t being delivered. I’ve got constituents who can’t pay their rent and their mortgages. I’ve got businesses who aren’t able to ship products or receive supplies.”
