Hoo Boy ... DeJoy! By Jim Hightower

[Celerity]

48. Because the board members Biden appointed, when combined with the others still there, do not want to remove him.

I posted on this extensively ages ago, back in February and March 2021 and then multiple times after that.

I said DeJoy was going nowhere, and people just refused to believe it and/or attacked me, ridiculed me, said, 'Do you ever get tired of being wrong?', etc etc.

I told all who took issue with my positings back then to bookmark it and get back to me when they proved me wrong.

Not one has.

Biden's Postal Board Nominees Unlikely to Spell Quick End to Postmaster General's Tenure

The president's picks are probably not going to vote to remove DeJoy and are knowledgeable on postal issues, observers say.

President Biden’s nominations to fill out the U.S. Postal Service’s governing board will give his priorities greater weight in the mailing agency’s future, but appear unlikely to bring about a swift end to Louis DeJoy’s tenure as postmaster general. Biden on Wednesday put forward Ron Stroman, until recently the deputy postmaster general; Amber McReynolds, a voting rights activist; and Anton Hajjar, a former American Postal Workers Union official, to fill the three vacancies currently on the board. If confirmed, the board of governors would see all nine Senate-confirmed seats occupied for the first time in more than a decade and a more balanced makeup with four Republicans, four Democrats and one independent.

Only the board would have the authority to remove the embattled DeJoy—as some congressional Democrats and stakeholders have sought—a process that would require a majority vote from the panel. The existing members, however, all of whom were appointed by President Trump, have shown little interest in taking such a drastic step. Earlier this month, Ron Bloom, a Democrat and former Obama administration appointee, became chairman of the panel. Bloom reiterated on Wednesday he worked closely with DeJoy on the postmaster general’s forthcoming 10-year business plan and it would have his support.

Bloom, who once helped write a report commissioned by the National Association of Letters Carriers that castigated then-postal management for proposing to slash services and standards, has called DeJoy’s plan—which is set to include a slowdown of mail delivery standards—“bold and comprehensive” and said it would “make the necessary changes and do what is right for this great organization.” The chairman, who is serving in a holdover year that will expire in December, approved of DeJoy’s appointment last year. Some lawmakers have called on Biden to lean on the existing board members to oust DeJoy or replace them with all of his own nominees, but the White House has shown little interest in pursuing such an aggressive path.

“It’s up to the board of governors, of which we just nominated three individuals to serve, and we certainly leave it up to their discretion,” White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said on Thursday when asked about DeJoy’s future. She added that “most Americans agree that the Postal Service needs leadership that can and will do a better job,” but those remarks were in reference to Biden’s nominees. John McHugh, chairman of the Package Coalition, an alliance of large-scale mailers such as Amazon and eBay, said it would be surprising for Bloom to endorse DeJoy’s messaging and then “turn around and vote to remove him.”

DeJoy himself does not see his job as in jeopardy.

"Get used to me," he told lawmakers on Wednesday, adding he would remain in his job for “a long time.”
