American needs a financially stable Postal Service.

Toward that end, the Postal Service is taking aggressive actions to preserve the long-term affordability of mail and to adapt to a changing marketplace and evolving mailing needs.

Subject to adoption of a final rule changing its delivery service standards, the Postal Service is pursuing a significant consolidation of its national network of mail processing facilities that will reduce the number of facilities from 461 to fewer than 200 by the end of 2013. No consolidations will occur before May 5, 2012.

Declining mail volumes and substantial fixed costs dictate that we take this bold action to preserve and protect the world's leading Postal Service for our customers and our employees.

From 1940 to 2006, the Postal Service oversaw a continuous expansion of mail processing and retail facilities to meet growing demand for mail delivery.

Criminal District Attorney Richard Glaser reports that on Thursday, Feb. 23, the Grand Jury met to consider 25 cases, and all but one were true-billed or indicted. The one case was no-billed. So far in 2012, Grand Jurors have returned 55 true bills of indictment. These most recent cases were filed from the following agencies: FCSO - 10, DA’s Office - 5, Bonham PD - 4, DPS - 3, Honey Grove PD - 1, Ladonia PD - 1 and Trenton PD - 1.

It is important to note that an indictment is a formal charge and should not in itself be considered an indication of guilt. All persons charged with a crime are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
