'Nobody should be standing in the way of this bill. It's a sad day that just one member has,' SenSchumer says while vowing the Senate will pass the Postal Service Reform Act.
bipartisan legislation to reform the U.S. Postal Service, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer took to the chamber's floor to promise that the bill will pass.Scott objected after Schumer sought unanimous consent to make a fix to the Postal Service Reform Act that cleared the House last week in a 342-92 vote.
"There's good news, though: Even though this will delay the bill, we will pass it," he vowed."We will have to just go through this elaborate process with the old-fashioned and often discredited rules of the Senate that the senator from Florida's employing." Schumer said that"we will pass this bill because America needs it. Rural people need it. Senior citizens need it. Veterans need it—80% of the veterans' prescriptions are sent through the mail. Nobody should be standing in the way of this bill. It's a sad day that just one member has."
