LOUIS TO DISCUSS DELIVERY DELAYS | 2024-08-29 | 2024 | 2024-08 | Republican | House | IL | Mike Bost | B001295 | bost.house.gov | bost | https://bost.house.gov/press-releases | scraper | ST. LOUIS, MO - U.S. Representative Mike Bost (IL-12) today met with senior leadership at the U.S. Postal Service Distribution Center in St. Louis to discuss delivery delays and emergency closures that have slowed or disrupted mail delivery to residents across Southern Illinois. "Since January of last year, my office has received over 250 complaints about postal service issues from almost every single one of the 34 counties in my Congressional District," said Bost."Southern Illinoisans have been consistently facing delivery delays, missing mail, and significant problems that all link back to the USPS St. Louis Distribution Center. This has caused serious disruptions, like delayed medications or utility bills, late fees, and even the loss of cremated remains. This widespread problem is not just a service failure but a violation of trust, and it demands accountability and urgent reform. That’s why today I visited the St. Louis Distribution Center, where I spoke with those responsible for distributing our mail about ways we can work together to make sure we find a resolution to this issue." | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T21:36:13Z |
