Durbin calls for U.S. Postal Service to act as attacks on carriers increase – CBS2 (Chicago)

The U.S. Postal Inspection Service sometimes releases wanted posters, but U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin also wants alerts given to letter carriers, something that he said happened more than a decade ago but has since been discontinued. Durbin's second solution is to send the thieves to prison for the 10-25 years allowed by law. "We need good prosecution from the Department of Justice," he said.

Dick let’s not demonize the people that rob these postal workers. All we need to do is provide other criminal activities for them to engage in. P.S. Dick, you forgot to blame Trump.

USPS can no longer be used for anything important, find another option, FedEx, UPS, email, fax or electronic funds transfer.

Let’s look at the root cause of this harmless activity. Probably just some good people who never got the right level of service from their postman.

Chicago’s political leadership is floating a pension buyout program as evidence it is seriously addressing the city’s thirty-six-billion-dollar unfunded pension liability, but Mark Glennon, founder of the Illinois policy research organization Wirepoints, said that the proposal moves debt from one column to another rather than reducing it, and that the broader fiscal picture facing the city continues to deteriorate across every measurable dimension.
