According to the folks at Rag Content, the Postal Service has made a hell of a mess by filing not an exigency case but a combo case. "An exigency price case should not be a combination of classification and structural changes paired with a price increase. The Postal Service has muddied the water by including both. In projecting its revenues and contribution from the filing, it has included both the price and classification changes. What is the revenue and contribution earned from the exigent price increase? Whatever revenue is left over from the forecasted $3 billion should be filed separately before the Commission as a classification / structural change. The Commission has created rules for that purpose and should be used instead of “throwing” both together." Read the full piece here.
