Many Post Offices may be closed in USA

Post Offices may be closed

A number of post offices around the country may close if the government gives its stamp of approval. The Washington Post is reporting the Postal Service plans a national restructuring as it faces a projected decline of 28 billion pieces of mail in the 2009 fiscal year. Postal officials blame the decline on a major shift in customer mailing practices, including increased reliance on e-mail and paying bills online. The local facilities were on a national list of 677 "candidates for closing," which was "pared down" from more than 3,200 facilities more than a month ago.
