Episode 134 July 16 2021 -- "Senate Postal Hearing, Congressional Budget Office View of Postal Bill and Attorney General's Demand for USPS Accountability" -- with NAPS Executive VP Ivan Butts

NAPS Executive Vice President Ivan Butts, joins Bob Levi on the latest edition of NAPS Chat. They discuss Postal Inspector General Tammy Whitcomb's testimony before the Senate Appropriations Committee, where she emphasized the need for enhanced oversight of the USPS' implementation of its 10-year business plan. Also, Ivan and Bob discuss Sen. John Boozman's (R-AR) request for an inspector general review of the USPS reduction-in-force (RIF). In addition, they note this week's publication of the Congressional Budget Office's (CBO) cost estimate for HR 3076, the bipartisan Postal Service Reform Act. In part, CBO disproves an assertion that the bill negatively impacts non-postal FEHBP participants. Finally, Ivan and Bob reflect on Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro's comments on the last episode of NAPS Chat and his threat to seek judicial intervention to derail USPS efforts to revise mail and parcel delivery standards.
