We get a news release this morning, titled, "USDA Announces Over $194 Million in New Projects to Increase Economic Opportunities Through Rural Partners Network."
That's great. I just hope they have more luck getting the funding than what Loyalton did for its water infrastructure. Where's our funding along with the $2 million Federal appropriations? We appreciate Eastern Plumas Health Care's CEO, Doug McCoy, for his ongoing effort.

VOTE NO ON 5 TO STOP THE TAX HIKES.It attacks the important taxpayer protection in Proposition 13 (and in earlier versions of the State constitution) that requires a two-thirds vote of the electorate before a city, county or special district can borrow money by issuing bonds. Local bonds are repaid by putting new charges on property tax bills. Those charges continue for decades, and each new bond measure that is approved by voters is added on top of previous charges, in addition to the basic property tax of 1% of assessed value.Proposition 5 would lower the standard for approving local bonds to 55% instead of two-thirds (66.7%).NO ON 5!

Ask Your Member of Congress to Support New Legislation to Save the USPS!
The U.S. Postal Service has been raising postage twice each year at amounts far above inflation — all while making the mail slower and unreliable. As part of Louis DeJoy's Delivering for America plan, there have been six postage increases since August of 2021. It's the most mailing rates have increased during the U.S. Postal Service’s nearly 250-year history, and it's hurting consumers and the nearly 8 million American jobs that depend on USPS. If we don’t stop these destructive rate hikes, the price of a stamp could be $1.19 by 2030.

Thankfully, Congress is taking action to stop USPS mismanagement — and you can help support the new legislation!

The House of Representatives just introduced the “USPS Services Enhancement and Regulatory Viability Expansion and Sustainability for the U.S. Act” (USPS SERVES US Act, H.R. 9839), which will empower the USPS regulators (the Postal Regulatory Commission, or PRC) to stop USPS decisions that are hurting its ability to serve the American people and driving it into financial ruin.

Please take a moment to contact your member of Congress and encourage them to support the USPS SERVES US Act, H.R. 9839. It only takes a moment to make a difference.

The mail is a critical public service. The USPS the only courier able to reach every community across the nation, and the only service capable of doing so. It's time for Congress to make sure that USPS continues to deliver for America, like it has since 1775. Thank you for raising your voice to save the USPS.
Take Action
As always, thanks for joining together to Keep US Posted. Feel free to forward this note to any friends, family and colleagues who also want to fix the USPS!

-Keep US Posted

Keep US Posted believes that a reliable, affordable U.S. Postal Service is essential to our way of life — and that we must act now to protect it.
