Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
When we first reached out to Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson's office last week to discuss the United States Postal Service's study concerning moving some operations from the Dallas Main Post Office to Coppell, we got no response. Then came a brief statement. A few days later, there was this letter Johnson sent to to Marie Therese Dominguez, the USPS's vice president of government relations and public policy. Now, she's moving way up the ladder of command: We just received from her office a letter Johnson sent only today to David C. Williams, the Inspector General of United States Postal Service, in which she calls for an "independent review" of the study being conducted by the Dallas office. As always, it's below in its entirety.
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
