Save the Post Office--The National Academy of Public Administration (NAPA) has just published a report about a proposal to create a "public-private hybrid" postal system. The full title is worth noting: "An Independent Review of a Thought-Leader Concept to Reform the U.S. Postal Service."
Under the proposal, two-thirds of the Postal Service - the retail and processing components (the "upstream activities") - would be privatized, while the third leg, the"downstream" delivery network, would remain a government entity. But according to experts, there's "no way in hell" this will happen.
