Sen. Bernie Sanders is crafting legislation to maintain mail service to communities throughout Vermont and avert cuts that could cost thousands of workers their jobs. As the financially-troubled Postal Service considers cutbacks across the country, 15 Vermont post offices and two mail processing centers face potential closure. "That is wrong. We must fight to retain them," Sanders told about 100 postal workers at a rally on Tuesday in Burlington's City Hall Park. "We all understand that in many small towns in Vermont, post offices are more than just post offices-in many cases, they are the heart and soul of the town," the senator added.
