(AP) The White House says President Barack Obama is nominating Vicki Kennedy to the board of governors for the U.S. Postal Service.
Kennedy is the widow of former Sen. Ted Kennedy, who died in 2009. The Massachusetts Democrat was a prominent supporter of Obama’s first presidential campaign.
Vicki Kennedy is a lawyer and co-founded the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate. She’s also on the board of trustees for the Kennedy Center.
Kennedy’s nomination must be confirmed by the Senate. The board of governors chooses the postmaster general and controls the postal service’s spending, planning and policies.
Just one piece of advice to Mrs.Kennedy…don’t believe Donablow’s lies.
Congradulations! I hope you help us, the working people of the postal service, that Donahoe and Issa need to go. We, the people see things that go on internally that is pathetic. The people can run the postal service without the multitude of upper management. Just call on the workers or the stewards, they can fill you in on the behind the scenes.
Has anyone told her she won’t be getting any discounts?
I second what All Your TPS To Us is saying???
She knows someone who knows someone. That her qualification.
As long as she holds Downahole and management accountable and try’s to put a stop to management’s nonsense and then moves to remove Downahole and his cronies degrading the Postal Service, WHO CARES?
Pray tell, what qualifications does she have for this ?
