Clovis Residents Unhappy with Cut in Postal Service

Clovis Journal - U.S. Postal Service spokesmen ran into a small but contentious crowd Thursday during a public meeting in Clovis. The meeting at the Clovis Civic Center was designed to explain plans for closing a first-class mail processing facility and hear public input. About 18 people showed up and, of those offering comments, most questioned the wisdom of a plan officials acknowledge will decrease service while saving the postal service about $714,000 a year in Clovis. First-class mail processing now done in Clovis would be moved to Lubbock, said David Martinez, manager of operations support for the postal service. Martinez said the change would only affect first-class mail, slowing it from the current standard of one-day delivery to delivery in two to three days. Package and periodical delivery would remain the same, Martinez said. Martinez said Clovis is one of about 300 mail processing operations the postal service plans to close across the nation. He said it is necessary to save the postal service. Read full story here: News New Mexico
