They said it was to save money, Postmaster General said it was not responsible to keep going like they were as the amount of mail on a daily basis at certain places has dwindled.
Said it cost in the $700,000 to move the equiptment from Lynchburg to Roanoke, now they are closing both and moving it to North Carolina? I see a big waste of money with that.
It will affect jobs at both, not carriers, but sorters etc.
