Christensen Calls for Investigation of Mail Delays

From The Source - it seems like people are really getting fed up with the mail issues in the USVI:

May 6, 2008 -- Fed up with ongoing mail delays in the territory, Delegate Donna M. Christensen has asked for an investigation by the U.S. Postal Service's inspector general.

"Whether it is the extraordinary length of time it takes for packages and periodicals to get to customers or packages not being delivered at all, the situation has become intolerable," Christensen said, according to a news release from her Washington office.

In her letter to the inspector general, Christensen asks for the investigation and the return to the practice of the Virgin Islands processing its own mail instead of having it processed in Puerto Rico. The letter was co-signed with Rep. Danny Davis (D-Ill.), chairman of the House Subcommittee on the Federal Workforce, Postal Service and District of Columbia.
