SAN NARCISO, Calif. (Bennington Vale Evening Transcript) -- Hoping to staunch the hemorrhaging cash flow that caused a $15.9 billion loss in the past budget year, the United States Postal Service (USPS) announced plans this week to eliminate Saturday delivery services for everything except packages. On Wednesday, Postmaster General Patrick R. Donahoe declared the agency's financial condition "urgent." Donahoe cited the dramatic reliance upon the Internet for correspondence and bill paying. Electronic communications have yielded a targeted efficiency and immediacy with which the USPS will never again be able to compete. But the USPS is preparing to launch its own "paperless" service that will combine the convenience and mobility of technology with the personalized touch of traditional mail.
