U.S. Postal Service revenue rose by hundreds of millions of dollars during the COVID-19 pandemic, undercutting warnings the agency would collapse if not given federal funding, a group of lawmakers said.
The post office should revise its projections, given that revenue during the first 11 weeks of the pandemic was $330 million higher than the same period in 2019, Reps. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and Jody Hice (R-Ga.) said in a letter (pdf) to Postmaster General Megan Brennan.
