Letter To The Editor – Going Postal!

To the Editor:
This letter is to inform Stephentown residents that the “local” sign on the mail drop inside the Stephentown Post Office is missing for a reason. Their local mail is no longer being handled locally but is now being sent into Albany where it hopefully will return in a day or two to Stephentown. Having worked as a clerk/postmaster replacement at the Stephentown Post Office for thirty years, I am shocked and appalled that a job that probably took no more than a total of ten or fifteen minutes a day to sort through and handle locally mailed letters is no longer being offered as a service to the Town’s residents. Just one more reason to use email instead of the Postal Service!!!
