SENATE RESOLUTION

 
2    WHEREAS, The United States Postal Service is considering
3reducing delivery service from six days a week to five days a
4week; and
 
5    WHEREAS, American citizens, businesses, and organizations
6have depended on six-day mail service for the timely delivery
7of important documents since 1912, especially working families
8who rely on the U.S. Postal Service for delivery of paychecks;
9and
 
10    WHEREAS, The reduction in service will inevitably create a
11backlog of undelivered mail, as postal workers would have to
12handle the same amount of mail in a shorter period of time; and
 
13    WHEREAS, This backlog would create delays in mail delivery
14and increase the costs of mail service as postal workers would
15have to work overtime hours to ensure timely delivery of the
16mail; therefore, be it
 
17    RESOLVED, BY THE SENATE OF THE NINETY-SEVENTH GENERAL
18ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that we urge the United
19States Postal Service to maintain a six-day a week mail
20service; and be it further
