Despite reporting the potholes to the United States Postal Service (USPS) and receiving assurances of action, there has been a lack of proper repairs. Congressman Al Green has taken the initiative to address this issue by sending a communique to Peter Pastre, USPS Vice President of Government Relations and Public Policy. A link to access the letter is available here, and you can view photos of the potholes by clicking here.\n\nThe complaint regarding the potholes was initially reported on February 8, 2023, and despite numerous follow-ups, there has been no resolution. The USPS initially acknowledged the pothole service request and stated that there would be an inspection and repairs, however, further complaints have not yielded tangible results. The lack of proper repairs from USPS has prompted Congressman Green to take this additional action.\n\nCongressman Al Green stated, \u201cI am deeply concerned about the lack of action by the United States Postal Service to repair potentially dangerous potholes. It is unacceptable that there has been no resolution despite following up several times. The safety and well-being of our community is an issue, and we cannot afford to allow this condition to continue.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:57:20Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://algreen.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-al-green-host-press-conference-united-states-postal-service-usps"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8055800572037697, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
