RICHMOND, Va. — Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine held a roundtable at the Virginia Museum of History & Culture (VMHC) Friday with Richmonders sharing their ongoing issues with the United States Postal Service (USPS).
“It’s incredibly frustrating when people have problems with their mail service. And this has become a at a crisis level in Richmond since the fall,” said Sen. Tim Kaine — referring to when his office began receiving more complaints than usual about mail service issues around Central Virginia. “And we’ve been very unhappy with the Postal Service’s unwillingness to really engage and give us answers about why people are not getting mail or getting mail delivered extremely late or getting a set of run arounds and excuses are unable to get questions answered.”
WTVR Among those who joined Kaine for the roundtable were constituents who had reached out to his office about those problems, including the museum itself.
President & CEO Jamie Bosket said the museum, which is a nonprofit, began seeing a drop-off in mail deliver starting in October, which was around the time that important membership renewals and donations were starting to come in. He said by December, deliver totals were nearly 100% lower than in years past.
