Should Vermont reduce Post Offices, service?

Bernie Sanders is holding a public meeting in Montpelier, to see what Vermonters think about reducing postal service.

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., is holding a meeting this Sunday to ask Vermonters what they think of closing some post offices and possibly eliminating Saturday mail delivery, proposals on the table from the U.S. Postal Service.

Sanders will be offering free lunch, as is his style, particularly when he’s campaigning for re-election, as he is.

This is an important issue for Ripton, being both somewhat isolated, and having experienced the near-killing of our post office.

The meeting is at 1 p.m. Sunday at Montpelier High School. The free lunch starts at noon. For information, call his office at (800) 339-9834.
