Lincoln, NE – Congressman Jeff Fortenberry (NE-01) today made the following comment after receiving an update from the United States Postal Service Office of Inspector General:

“After receiving numerous complaints from constituents, earlier this year I asked the Inspector General of the United States Postal Service to intervene and analyze the problems with the mail system in Nebraska. It is my understanding that the Office of Inspector General will be releasing a report with recommendations by September 16th. I hope that this report will help resolve problems and restore confidence in postal delivery standards.”

Congressman Fortenberry wrote to Inspector General David C. Williams on March 3, 2016. The Office of Inspector General is an independent office of the Postal Service under the general supervision of nine presidentially appointed governors. It is also required to provide semiannual reports to Congress.
