RENO, Nev. (KOLO) – U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen and Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo came together in Reno on Tuesday to jointly oppose a USPS plan to move mail processing to Sacramento.
The pair held a press conference at the Post Office on Vassar Street in Reno. As part of their press conference, Rosen announced that she is working on legislation to prevent USPS from moving forward with a plan she calls misguided.
Rosen and Lombardo both reiterated their federal-state partnership to stop USPS’s plans.
“I am proud to work with Governor Lombardo and our Northern Nevada Congressional Delegation to strongly oppose the misguided USPS plan to move Reno mail processing to Sacramento, and highlight the negative impacts this move would have for Nevada,” said Senator Rosen. “As Governor Lombardo and I made clear today: Washington bureaucrats don’t know our state or how much this proposal will hurt Nevadans’ ability to access timely mail delivery. This is a bad move for Nevada, and I’m working on legislation to stop it before it can be implemented.”
“In coordination with our federal delegation, my administration is continuing to fight back against the USPS relocation of the Reno Processing & Distribution Center, which will cause unacceptable delays for state agencies and constituents,” said Governor Joe Lombardo. “Northern Nevadans deserve to have full confidence in our postal service, and we will continue to advocate for accountability from USPS.
