A new system instituted by the U.S. Postal Service in Oregon in late February will result in outgoing mail arriving at its destination a day later than in the past, according to critics, including Oregon’s U.S. senators, Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley. Instead of sending a truck each evening to pick up outgoing mail collected that day, the Postal Service is dispatching only one truck per day to many rural post offices, including more than two dozen in Northeastern Oregon. Although the Postal Service has not released an official list, the new policy apparently does not affect larger offices, including Baker City, La Grande and Pendleton.
