NAPA Report: Reforming the USPS

NAPA Panel Releases Report on Reforming the U.S. Postal Service: An independent Panel of the National Academy of Public Administration today issues its findings and conclusions from its evaluation of a new hybrid public-private partnership concept for U.S. Postal Service (USPS) operations put forward by four nationally-recognized postal experts. David Walker, former Comptroller General of the United States, chaired the Academy’s Panel that conducted the ten-week review of the "Thought-Leader White Paper." The Paper advocated that mail processing, collection, and transportation be performed by private-sector companies and that the delivery function—“the last mile”—be reserved for the USPS.
