Today's news from Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.):
USPS: Saturday mail service could be ended and door-to-door delivery eliminated under legislation introduced this week by Sens. Tom Carper and Tom Coburn. Sen. Bernie Sanders has introduced his own postal reform legislation with 30 cosponsors. He said he is “strongly opposed” to the Carper-Coburn proposal that is significantly weaker than a bill the Senate passed last year with 62 votes. “That makes no sense,” he said. "While we all understand that the Postal Service is experiencing financial problems today and that changes need to be made, providing fewer services and poorer quality is not the way to save the Postal Service,” Sanders said in The Hill.
House Votes to Ban Carbon Tax: House Republicans, with help from 12 Democrats, passed an amendment on Friday to ban a carbon tax, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. In the Senate, Sens. Sanders and Barbara Boxer have introduced a bill that wo...uld impose a fee on carbon pollution. Under the House-passed amendment, federal agencies would not be allowed to introduce carbon tax rules.
Shady Lenders: The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in the past year fielded 4,516 complaints from military families alleging violations by lenders of a federal law that protects service members with home mortgages, credit card and other debts, according to testimony before the Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee. Sen. Sanders, the committee chairman, said the nation must "prepare for future" with tens of thousands of service members transitioning back to civilian life, San Diego Source reported.
