From the Times Ledger:
Elected officials from Queens announced Tuesday an agreement had been reached with the U.S. Postal Service to delay the closure of all postal facilities, including the mail sorting facility in College Point, for at least five months.
U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) said she and 14 senators from other states arrived at an agreement with U.S. Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe and Thurgood Marshall Jr., chairman of the U.S. Postal Service board of governors, to put a moratorium on all closings until May 15.
The announcement was greeted with enthusiasm by U.S. Reps. Joseph Crowley (D-Jackson Heights) and Gary Ackerman (D-Bayside), who also said that they would still fight to keep the office open even after the five months end.

So who is going to pay for this "reprieve" ?
They are losing money every day, putting any changes off only makes things worse.
Wow Crowley sees the big union = votes - you go boy! Woof woof!
Once a week is enough. Only politicians like post office so they can junk mail us. Fire the bums.
