A bipartisan group of two Kansas and three Missouri members of Congress sign a joint letter urging the U.S. Postal Service to address persistent problems with mail delivery in the greater Kansas City area (Tim Carpenter/Kansas Reflector).
Three Missouri and two Kansas members of Congress serving constituents in the greater Kansas City area forwarded a joint letter Tuesday to the U.S. Postal Service demanding action to rectify problems with missing or delayed mail and protracted periods in which no mail was delivered at all.
Republicans Reps. Sam Graves and Mark Alford, both of Missouri, and Rep. Jake LaTurner of Kansas, as well as Democrats Emanuel Cleaver of Missouri and Sharice Davids of Kansas, forwarded the letter to USPS postmaster general Louis DeJoy. They pointed to the July federal audit of the Kansas City Postal and Distribution Center in Kansas City, Missouri, and stations in Hickman Mills in Missouri as well as in Mission and Kansas City on the Kansas side of the border.
