WASHINGTON - Government Operations Subcommittee Ranking Member Jody Hice (R-Ga.) opened today’s hearing on “The Holiday Rush: Is the Postal Service Ready?" by emphasizing the importance of reforming the Postal Service to ensure it continues to deliver for the American people. He noted that while Postmaster General Louis DeJoy is working to implement a reform plan, Democrats continue to attack Mr. DeJoy for his attempts to improve efficiency. He also blasted Democrats’ efforts to use the Postal Service as a guinea pig for a progressive agenda. Subcommittee Ranking Member Hice concluded by calling on the subcommittee to review the Postal Service’s performance after the holiday rush to determine the effectiveness of its reforms.
