Statement from the Vermont Congressional Delegation on the Montpelier Post Office

Statement

"The U.S. Postal Service's failure to secure safe and stable postal service facilities in Vermont's capital city following the catastrophic flooding that displaced their offices on State Street, along with an unwillingness to communicate with the local Montpelier community or their own employees, is a complete and total abdication of their responsibilities and emblematic of the nationwide crisis and total failure of leadership of Postmaster General Louis DeJoy.

The U.S. Postal Service provides essential services that individuals, families, small businesses, and older Vermonters alike rely on every day -- not only for packages and letters, but for Social Security checks, deliveries of lifesaving prescription drugs, and the ability to pay their bills on time. The residents of Montpelier need and deserve restored service in their community, and we expect regional and national USPS management to work with our federal and state leaders -- and with the community -- to chart a speedy, robust return to the state capital.

Anything less is unacceptable."
