TUCSON – U.S.
Representative Martha McSally today released the following statement after the
Committee on Appropriations voted to restore postal service delivery standards
to July 1, 2012, potentially delaying the proposed closure of the Cherrybell
Processing & Distribution Center in Tucson. The vote to restore postal
service delivery standards to July 2012 is significant as it would require
delivery of First class mail within 2-3 days.
“We’ve been
working tirelessly to highlight in Congress and locally the devastating impact
that closing the Cherrybell Facility would have on our community, and passage of
this provision is a clear sign those efforts are having an impact,” said Rep.
McSally. “We still have much work to do, but this is a positive sign that
progress is being made. I’ll continue to work with my colleagues in Congress and
locally to advocate for the Cherrybell Facility and make sure that the voices of
Southern Arizonans are heard.” MORE
