Scott Votes for Reform Bill to Save Postal Service

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Bobby Scott (VA-03) issued the following statement after the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 3076 – Postal Service Reform Act.

"The United States Postal Service (USPS) is a critical part of American life. People across the country depend on USPS to communicate with friends, receive prescriptions, pay bills, receive Social Security benefits, file tax returns, vote and more. Today, the House took a major step toward reforming the USPS. The Postal Service Reform Act improves the reliability of USPS's services and puts the Postal Service on stronger financial footing. The legislation welcomes all future postal retirees into Medicare, ensuring that these public servants can get the quality health care they deserve while also saving USPS billions over the next decade. Finally, the bill improves USPS reliability, with new transparency measures that will help ensure consistent on-time mail delivery. I am proud to have voted for this bill to ensure speedy and reliable delivery for Virginians and all Americans."
