Illinois to Lose Nine Post Offices in Closure Sweep

The fear is becoming real for folks in some downstate communities that they will lose a post office this time around.  The U.S. Postal Service earlier this year announced plans to close facilities in Bloomington, Carbondale, Centralia, Chicago, Effingham, Fox Valley, Quincy, Rockford and Springfield.  Now those plans are inching closer to reality.  But Illinois' Congressional delegation is pledging to fight.  Congressman Don Manzullo says he will fight to keep all of Rockford's post offices open.  Manzullo says that city cannot afford to lose more jobs.  The post office closings are part of a cost cutting move.
