Rep. Waxman Opposes Sale of Santa Monica Post Office

WASHINGTON, DC— Today, Rep. Henry A. Waxman released a statement in response to the announcement that the United States Postal Service (USPS) intends to sell the Santa Monica Post Office: 

 

“Today I was troubled to learn that the USPS plans to sell the main branch of the Santa Monica Post Office.  The entire city relies on the Santa Monica Post Office to mail packages, buy stamps, and rent post office boxes.  It is as much a part of the community as Palisades Park, Santa Monica Pier, and City Hall.  While I understand USPS is under enormous pressure to cut costs, closing this iconic building, which has served the residents of Santa Monica since 1938, will do little to improve the Postal Service’s long term financial position.  That is why I am opposing the Postal Service's decision and will join the community in its appeal to keep the Post Office operating at this location.”
