The US Postal Service wants to change how it reports its own performance

The US Postal Service has asked its regulator to change the rules for how it reports its own performance. This could make it harder for the public to see how well the Postal Service is actually doing.

The Postal Service is a public utility. Its performance reports are how the public and Congress know if it is meeting its obligations. If the reporting rules change, it might become harder to hold the Postal Service accountable for its service quality or financial health.
