Video: Federal Lawmakers call for action on delayed mail claims in Cape Girardeau, MO

CAPE GIRARDEAU, MO (KFVS) -I’ve heard from dozens of you after last week’s I-Team report on claims that your mail is being intentionally delayed.

I pressed US Postal Service spokeswoman Stacy St. John for a reason as to why USPS does not think there’s a problem here in Cape Girardeau.

She told me they regret the workers in my story “damaged the integrity of their workforce.”

She also pointed to a recent independent study that gave Cape Girardeau’s First Class mail delivery times high marks.

“In fact, the most recent independently collected results for overnight First Class Mail service show scores above 97% QTD for our Cape Girardeau customers,” she said.

“I had full faith in my belief that it was being investigated,” Walker told me when we met a few weeks back.

And he didn’t just bring me what he calls the evidence an investigator asked him to collect. He and his union President took it to the offices of US Representative Jason Smith and US Senator Roy Blunt.

Smith sent a letter to the Inspector General, asking why the worker was first told by the OIG to gather evidence last December. Then he had a different agent tell him last month to stop.

Senator Blunt says he supports calls for the OIG to conduct an investigation into delays at the Cape Girardeau Processing Center and sent a letter to that effect Thursday.

I’ve also heard from more postal workers who back up the story shared by those five men last week.

Federal Lawmakers call for action on delayed mail claims

  1. Human nature never seems to change. In the 1941(?) film Casablanca, Captain Renualt (Claude Rains) exclaimed: “I’m shocked, shocked to find gambling going on here.”

    75 years later, we are “Shocked, shocked to find delayed mail here…”

    The more things change, the more they stay the same.

  2. Postal mgmt mantra: Deceive, deny, and deflect.

    They are all pathological liars.
