USPS scraps plan to move Missoula mail processing to Spokane

The postal service decided to move some operations to Spokane but Postmaster General Louis DeJoy in early May agreed to pause changes, at least until the new year, in response to concerns raised by several senators.
Sen. Steve Daines and former Sen. Jon Tester echoed concerns raised by current and former Missoula postal workers that moving processing out of Montana would lead to delivery delays and job losses.
