Debbie Wasserman Schultz denied access to USPS facilities

U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz said she was denied access to two U.S. Postal Service facilities in South Florida on Friday morning following evidence of delivery delays and other problems.

Wasserman Schultz, whose district includes parts of Broward and Miami-Dade counties, said in a statement that her staff had notified the Postal Service on Thursday that she was planning to visit two Miami-area processing centers Friday morning. She said when she arrived at each location, she was prevented from observing a typical morning shift and told she would have to follow visitation protocols to tour the sites.

“Denying Congress access to the facilities is denying the vital public oversight of our mail system,” Wasserman Schultz said.

Wasserman Schultz said she wanted to tour the centers after receiving photos of pallets of undelivered mail sitting in the facilities this week, with dates indicating delivery that was intended for July. Postal employees also told her that sorting machines continue to remain idle.

Postal Service spokeswoman Kimberly Frum said they didn’t receive notification from Wasserman Schultz about the tours until Thursday afternoon.

1. I've thought about this alot since it was reported.

My latest thought is that she should have gone in and called their bluff. With reporters in tow, it would NOT have been a good look AND I would like to know if they would have really done it. Dammit, we seem to just roll over when they say "roll over".
