The
Morris K. Udall Post Office in Tucson
processed outgoing mail for the last time Friday, and U.S. Representative Ron
Barber is upset about it. Barber
strongly opposes the Postal Service decision to close this mail processing
center and send all outgoing mail in southern Arizona
to Phoenix.
He
wrote in a letter to Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe on Friday that the
decision will have a negative effect on those living and working in Tucson, including job
losses and an increase in wait times for mail delivery. He says the move could cost Tucson up to 300 jobs.
