Poll on Eliminating Saturday Delivery

The Lawrence Journal World posted the following question on their on line poll today: "Would you miss receiving mail on Saturdays if the United States Postal Service eliminated delivery that day?"

As usual, the people who take the time to comment were negative. However, there were several positive posts. Be sure to find the post written by a former RCA. Unfortunately, I do not agree with her that eliminating Saturday delivery will not affect rural carriers not to mention the RCAs.

It is also interesting that a whopping 875 people responded. I follow these polls and this is significant. It appears the feeling is nearly 50/50 for or against. Personally, I thought there would be a stronger feeling for keeping the six day delivery. For those not familiar with this part of Kansas, Lawrence is in middle of the Kansas City to Topeka corridor. People in the central and western part of the state would be much less willing to give up Saturday delivery.
