The United States Postal Service has announced plans earlier this year to downsize in Central Illinois, but a local Illinois member of the United States Congress has filed a bill that would halt that idea.
USPS has proposed changing nearly 60 processing and
distribution centers across the nation to just processing centers, including ones in Champaign and Springfield.
Rep. Nikki Budzinski filed a bill that would make it illegal for the USPS to close any P&DC in markets underperforming on their delivery deadline goals; the Illinois congresswoman called USPS’s proposal “misguided”.
