| 1 | | SENATE RESOLUTION
|
| 2 | | WHEREAS, The United States Postal Service is considering |
| 3 | | reducing delivery service from six days a week to five days a |
| 4 | | week; and
|
| 5 | | WHEREAS, American citizens, businesses, and organizations |
| 6 | | have depended on six-day mail service for the timely delivery |
| 7 | | of important documents since 1912, especially working families |
| 8 | | who rely on the U.S. Postal Service for delivery of paychecks; |
| 9 | | and
|
| 10 | | WHEREAS, The reduction in service will inevitably create a |
| 11 | | backlog of undelivered mail, as postal workers would have to |
| 12 | | handle the same amount of mail in a shorter period of time; and
|
| 13 | | WHEREAS, This backlog would create delays in mail delivery |
| 14 | | and increase the costs of mail service as postal workers would |
| 15 | | have to work overtime hours to ensure timely delivery of the |
| 16 | | mail; therefore, be it
|
| 17 | | RESOLVED, BY THE SENATE OF THE NINETY-SEVENTH GENERAL |
| 18 | | ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that we urge the United |
| 19 | | States Postal Service to maintain a six-day a week mail |
| 20 | | service; and be it further
