When Mail is delivered late, who is responsible for late charges Says service would be better if more decisions were allowed to be made on the local level Click on headline for complete commentary By RALPH WAGGENER Personal Commentary The US Post Office has made a lot of changes and none for the better. My wonderful wife Glinda sent our Kentucky Utilities bill in and then a few days later got a letter saying it was late! Glinda called and found her check had not arrived and we could chance having our electricity turned off if it did not arrive within a few days. Finally after one week the check cleared but it was sent all the way to Louisville I guess that is where all our mail goes even if it local mail. We don’t get any mail on Tuesdays and very little on Thursday enough so much there is a pattern of delivery. I know the postal system is In bad financial shape, but we need a reliable postal system in our nation in order to make it work. When our father E P Waggener carried the mail carries slogan was "The mail must go through" and there was a lot of pride in their job! Yes, there where too many rules and regulations back then to be able to make changes so that a mail carrier could do his job better, but they were still proud of what they did. Maybe a little pride could filter back in to the post office if they where allowed to make changes on a local level to Improve service.
