Federal Drive with Tom Temin show

Summary: A long-awaited reform bill to save the Postal Service about $50 billion over the next decade has notched a step forward. The House passed the Postal Service Reform Act, which would eliminate a requirement for USPS to pre-fund retiree health benefits 75 years into the future. The bill now heads to the Senate, where it has bipartisan support. The bill, if enacted, would be the first major piece of postal reform legislation to make it through Congress in more than 15 years.
