CLEVELAND - U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown will announce an agreement today that sets in place a moratorium on post office and processing center closures in Ohio, and around the country, until May 15. "This moratorium is a win for Ohio consumers, Ohio business, and Ohio workers. Though the Postal Service faces serious challenges, this will provide time to reach a solution that will strengthen the USPS, instead of crippling it. It is vital that all Ohio residents and businesses receive the same level of service and access to their mail," Brown said. Targeted for closure were 120 post offices and 10 mail processing facilities in Ohio. The Postal Service said the cuts were in response to a steady drop in the amount of mail it handles.
