EXCLUSIVE: Not the Pony Express

FIRST IN PLAYBOOK: NOT THE PONY EXPRESS — A delegation of 12 California House members, led by Democratic Rep. Jim Costa, sent a letter to the U.S. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy on Friday, demanding the agency beef up its number of mail-delivery trucks on the West Coast.

The lawmakers said Postal Service customers on this side of the country could suffer from service delays due to a shortage of modern delivery trucks relative to the East Coast. “Such disparities not only compromise the efficiency of our postal services but also underscore a worrying inequity in resource distribution nationwide,” the lawmakers wrote in their letter, which was exclusively shared with Playbook.
