The US Postal Service is considering closing as many as
3,700 post offices across the country, including 80
in South Dakota.
Among those being looked at for closure -- post offices
in Sinai, Badger, Nunda, Oldham and Ramona.
Those being studied have low sales and few customers.
The Postal Service will spend at least four months
evaluating each post office. Anyone who objects to a
closing has 60 days to submit comments to the Postal
Service.
Closings could begin as early as January.
The Postal Service projects a deficit this year of more
than $8-billion.
