Sen. Moran Applauds Passage of Postal Reform Legislation

Sen. Moran Applauds Passage of Postal Reform Legislation

 

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) today applauded the passage of H.R. 3076, the Postal Service Reform Act of 2022 to help improve and sustain the United States Postal Service (USPS).

 

“Throughout my time representing Kansans in Washington, D.C., I have advocated for the preservation of rural post offices and sensible reforms that ensure the Postal Service’s stability,” said Sen. Moran. “When a post office closes, it creates problems for businesses and the community and can cause significant harm to the local economy. For rural Kansans and older residents, the Postal Service is the glue that keeps them connected to the rest of the country. The Postal Service is an indispensable piece of infrastructure that can reach nearly every address in America, and I am pleased we are one step closer to getting this critical reform across the finish line.”

 

Sen. Moran has been a long-time supporter of preserving and reforming the USPS. This legislation included several provisions from Sen. Moran’s legislation the Postal Service Reform Act of 2018.

 

Click HERE or Below for Sen. Moran’s Full Remarks

 

 

Sen. Moran’s Provisions Included in H.R. 3076, the Postal Service Reform Act of 2022:

  • allow USPS to enter into agreements with state, local and tribal governments to provide non-postal services to increase revenue;
  • increase transparency of USPS delivery results by requiring USPS to submit frequent performance reports to Congress;
  • create a new Postal Service Health Benefits program within the Federal Employee Health Benefits Program and integrate employees over age 64 to enroll in Medicare; and
  • eliminate the pre-funding requirement of retiree health benefits.

 

Sen. Moran’s Work on Postal Reform:

  • In 2001, then-Rep. Jerry Moran supported H.Con.Res.181 which expressed the sense of Congress that the USPS should provide a maximum degree of effective and regular services to all communities and take all necessary steps to ensure post offices are not closed or consolidated.
  • In 2009, then-Rep. Jerry Moran supported H.R.22, the United States Postal Service Financial Relief Act of 2009, which reduced the amount the USPS must pay into the Postal Service Retiree Health Benefits Fund from $5.4 billion to $1.4 billion.
  • In 2011, the USPS published a list of more than 130 rural post offices in Kansas that were under initial consideration for closure. In response, staff for Sen. Moran attended nearly every community meeting that USPS leadership held to solicit feedback on the future of their post office.
  • Sen. Moran met with Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe on several occasions, including a U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs (HSGAC) hearing on postal reform, to emphasize his support for keeping rural community post offices open.
  • In November 2011, HSGAC adopted Sen. Moran’s amendment to protect rural post offices by strengthening the criteria for communities to fight back against closures during a markup of the Lieberman-Collins postal reform bill.
  • In 2012, the Senate passed S.1789 the 21st Century Postal Service Act of 2012 which included Sen. Moran’s amendment from the HSGAC markup in 2011.
  • S.1789 did not pass the House of Representatives.
  • USPS abandoned efforts to close post offices on the 2011 list, and instead adjusted customer “window” hours for these locations—which kept post offices open in rural communities, and still allowed USPS to right-size its workforce and reduce labor costs.
  • Sen. Moran held a follow-up conversation with U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs, the Postmaster General and staff to discuss ways to protect rural post offices.
  • In 2013, in response to the USPS announcement the agency would be eliminating Saturday mail delivery, Sen. Moran began requesting report language in the FSGG Subcommittee Appropriations bill requiring the USPS to maintain six-day and rural mail delivery without reduction in services. He has continued to support the six-day delivery provision in every subsequent fiscal year.
  • In 2015, Sen. Moran led Sens. Tom Carper (D-Del.), Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), and Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) to introduce the Improving Postal Operations Service and Transparency Act.
  • In 2018, Sen. Moran introduced the Postal Service Reform Act of 2018: Improving Postal Operations, Service, and Transparency with Sens. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.), Tom Carper (D-Del.), and Heidi Heitkamp (D-N.D.).
  • In 2019, along with Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.), Sen. Moran led 23 of his Senate colleagues to reintroduce a bipartisan resolution opposing privatization of the USPS, noting the agency is a self-sustaining establishment and privatization would result in higher prices and reduced services for USPS customers, especially in rural communities.
  • In 2020, Sen. Moran encouraged the new USPS Postmaster General to work with Congress to discuss postal reform legislation and released an editorial highlighting the new opportunity for the USPS and Congress to work together.
  • In 2020, Sen. Moran wrote an op-ed on the importance of the USPS to rural life, which ran in the Salina Journal.
  • In 2021, during an FSGG Appropriations Subcommittee hearing, Sen. Moran expressed concern to the USPS OIG to consolidate another 18 mail processing centers under the agency’s proposed 10-year plan. Sen. Moran also cosponsored S.1720, the Postal Service Reform Act of 2020.
  • On March 1, 2022, Sen. Moran spoke on the U.S. Senate floor regarding the importance of the USPS to Kansas and shared stories of the impact several Kansan letter carriers have had on their community.

Dancers Purchase Downtown Scottish Rite Temple

Tracy and Kathy Dancer, Fort Scott, have purchased the
 Scottish Rite Temple at 110 South Main.

The couple is investing in the historic downtown building to make it an asset to the community once again, she said.
“We see this as an opportunity to invest in Fort Scott and repurpose a historic building,” Kathy said.  “The building has been dormant since 2014 and there has been no maintenance or activity in the building since it was sold by the Scottish Rite.”
They purchased the building from the Bourbon County Commission property tax auction that was conducted in January.
“Currently, we plan on providing micro-retail spaces for small retail businesses,” she said.  “Micro-retail spaces are a great opportunity for local entrepreneurs to have a retail space without committing to a large store or the overhead associated with a stand-alone storefront.”
“The building will also support pop-up shops and small seasonal stores,” Kathy said.  “We have had many community members also ask us to consider a cafe or pie pantry so we are considering incorporating those into the space as well.  Ideally, we will be able to use the theater for events and as a rentable venue in the future.”
Currently, they are not seeking grants to help with the project.
“If grant funding becomes available that is a good fit for the space and the community, we would consider applying but at this time we have not applied for anything and our plan does not rely on grant money.”
“Right now our initial plans are to restore utilities and water service
so we can better assess the condition of the building and mechanical systems,” she said.  “Once electricity and water are in place, we can begin to better evaluate the interior and formalize plans to repurpose the ground floor space.”
“The building is part of the historic downtown district so we will be applying to the State Historic Preservation Office for their approval of restoration and renovation plans before we can begin work,” she said.
The theater is on the second floor of the Scottish Rite Temple. Submitted photo.
History of the Building
“The building was constructed by the Scottish Rite Valley of Fort Scott and was completed in 1926,” she said.  “The building hosted meetings for the fraternal organization as well as community events.  There was a dining hall on the ground floor and a large theater on the second floor. The building still has many original features in the theater and lobby area as well as the original air chest pipe organ.”

“If anyone would like to follow our progress and plans, we will be posting updates on our social media on Facebook and Instagram at @110SouthMainFortScott,” she said

Legislative Update by State Senator Caryn Tyson

Caryn Tyson

 

March 04, 2022

 

The 2022 legislative session is quickly coming to a close.  Last week was turnaround, considered the halfway point of session.  However, it is not the same amount of time to complete the “second half” of session.  The first half is about 1.5 months, while the second half is less than 4 week.  We have about two weeks for committee meetings and then a few full days on the floor to work bills.

 

There are still some major issues to tackle – redistricting maps, a budget, election security, health freedom, and hopefully tax cuts, including sales tax on food.  With so many important issues to be finished, the next few weeks will be extremely busy.

 

There were a few bills debated on the floor, but no final action was taken during the week.

 

It is an honor and a privilege to serve as your 12th District State Senator.

Caryn

 

Applications Open for Community Service Tax Credit Program

TOPEKA – Governor Laura Kelly today announced that applications are currently being accepted for the Community Service Tax Credit Program (CSP). CSP provides an opportunity for private, non-profit organizations and public health care entities to improve their ability to undertake major capital campaigns for projects involving children and family services, non-governmental crime prevention, youth apprenticeship and youth technical training and health care.

“The Community Service Tax Credit program is an incredible opportunity for nonprofit organizations to create lasting, meaningful changes for people across Kansas,” said Governor Laura Kelly. “These tax credits will foster local solutions to local challenges, and they will help improve the quality of life for Kansans now and into the future.”

Under this program, the state authorizes nonprofit organizations to offer tax credits to donors making contributions towards approved projects. Proposed projects should be unique or one-time in nature and create a lasting value for charitable organizations. For example, projects might include a capital campaign, major equipment purchase, major renovation, capacity building, etc.

Since 2019, CSP has earmarked $1 million for childcare and early childhood development projects for services to those under the age of 5.

“These tax credits help local nonprofit and healthcare organizations streamline their fundraising efforts, to more effectively improve the health and economic wellbeing of Kansas communities,” Lieutenant Governor and Commerce Secretary David Toland said. “We’re asking Kansans to tell us about their initiatives, and if they are a good fit for the CSP program, we will provide a significant resource to help bring these projects to fruition across Kansas.”

Applicants may request up to $200,000 in tax credits. Applicant organizations in rural areas (less than 15,000 population) are eligible for a 70 percent credit. Applicant organizations in non-rural areas are eligible for a 50 percent credit. The application window is open through April 30, 2022 at kansascommerce.gov/csp.

CSP is administered by the Community Development Division of the Department of Commerce. More information on the program, guidelines, and application process may be found online here.
