The District Department of Human Services isn’t the only governmental organization hard up for cash these days, but at least the United States Postal Service is being a lot more upfront about matters. The USPS is still whittling down a sizable list of postal branches which could close as part of cost-cutting measures to attempt to reverse billions of dollars in deficits. There’s a dozen local offices which could close, mapped above. (You can also check out the complete list here.) Postmaster General John E. Potter said that branches are unlikely to close before January. While losing a postal branch isn’t particularly convenient, there’s still one main post office required for every zip code, so it’s not like you won’t be able to find one somewhere along your daily travels — and after all, all of this is just a prolouge to the big proposed cut: the elimination of Saturday delivery.
