Legislative Issues for 2012
With issues like postal reform, health care, taxes and regulatory initiatives on the minds of printers, will Congress let gridlock and election distractions keep it from acting in the year ahead?
"Even legislation may not preclude the Postal Service from right-sizing itself," Lyons notes. "There's more pain to come, more heartburn."
Jim Andersen, CEO of IWCO Direct of Chanhassen, Minn., and a key voice in the mailing community, is frustrated by the partisan politics. "It is regrettable that the level of Congressional gridlock we are seeing makes it unlikely that any substantive reform will happen before the 2012 election," he says.
