“This is all a formality”: Residents speak out against USPS changes

The U.S. Postal Service held a town hall meeting on Thursday to discuss the possible changes to service in Corpus Christi.

Immediately upon public comment, everyone called the meeting a “sham” based on the meeting time and place being 3 p.m. in a small library room at the Janet F. Harte Public Library. The library is in a non-centralized location for the city in Flour Bluff. The meeting coincided with Flour Bluff Schools letting students go for the day, as well.

Many people even protested the changes this past weekend.

The meeting was to provide more details on “Delivering for America,” the postal services 10 year plan to reshape the delivery system.
