(The Center Square) – Nevada mail will not be routed through Sacramento, California, as proposed by the United States Postal Service.
USPS has been working on a modernization plan to try to save money and help USPS be more efficient. The plan was to move local mail processing from Reno to Sacramento, but a bipartisan group of Nevada’s elected officials opposed the plan, calling it misguided.
“The announcement that this widely opposed transfer of local mail processing operations will no longer happen is a huge win for our seniors, veterans, and every person in Northern Nevada who depends on timely mail delivery,” said Senator Jacky Rosen in a news release . “I will always stand up to Washington on behalf of Nevada and make sure our voices are heard.”
Rosen made similar comments in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto also celebrated the news, saying she and Senator Rosen worked “immediately to stop it” after hearing about the plan from Postmaster General Louis DeJoy.
