Guam – The blame game heats up as island leaders are looking to what started the postal nightmare weeks ago when residents and businesses began complaining they weren’t receiving mail.

After weeks of misplaced mail, approximately 19,000 residents received the following message in their mailbox on Monday: “In bold print, I’ll read it to you,” noted Carl Dominguez, director of the Department of Public Works, “the complete and correct address for your location as provided by the Guam Department of Public Works is listed below.”

As a recipient of this very message, Dominguez saw his village mailing address change from Piti to Santa Rita.

As he spoke before village mayors this morning, he admitted he’s not sure what the US Postal Service is referring to.

“So my position this morning is if you show it to me, if DPW in the past somehow sent them erroneous information then I’ll bite my lower lip and say it looks like we messed up. But if you can’t produce it, I think we need to retract this sentence,” he said.

But there was no one to answer today’s questions as USPS officer in charge Christopher Warren was a no-show.
