The US Postal Service initially agreed to have representatives from the regional and local offices present at both town halls, but then later declined the invitation, stating that travel demands were too great and would take too much time away from USPS staff and representatives\u2019 work duties. Since the Congresswoman\u2019s first term, the office has hosted at least four (4) town halls with postal service personnel in attendance\u2014up to the Deputy Postmaster General has come\u2014at the Congresswoman\u2019s invitation\u2014to speak to the Virgin Islands community as well as postal inspectors come to simply share how to make a claim.
