Show Firsthand info revealed Dear Editor In response to your recent article in the Davis County Clipper, I would like to let you know a few ( items of detail firsthand about the post office. The post office is not government subsidized, that's one reason rates must go up. Every time gasoline goes up one cent it costs the post office of-fice thousands of dollars more. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce must have averaged the income of all supervisors and postmasters, who make a substantial difference in yearly income compared to the "average" worker. If you include them in the averaging that's why they would say the $40,000. My husband has worked for the post office of-fice for 17 years and makes under $30,000, unless he gets some overtime. over-time. He hasn't had a raise in several years. When we were married, a stamp cost 10 cents. Gasoline was 27 cents and a jar of mayonnaise was 39 cents. |
