Pressure mounts for resolution at u.s. post ahead of presidential election

After concerns that financial cuts at the u.S. Post office could jeopardize the november presidential election, political resistance to austerity measures grows.

The house of representatives will discuss legal steps on saturday. At least six democrat-led states discussed lawsuits against the U.S. Government, the washington post reported. Post chief louis dejoy agreed to face questions from deputies at a hearing next week. Dejoy was appointed by the post’s supervisory board in june. He is a major donor to US president donald trump and his republicans.

After the house of representatives was recalled from summer recess, a republican senator, susan collins, also spoke out in favor of convening the second chamber of congress. Democrats have majority in house of representatives, republicans in senate. Both chambers are currently in a summer recess. Amendments passed by the democrats in the house of representatives still had to be approved by the senate. The republican majority leader in the senate, mitch mcconnell, has not yet made a statement.

Voting was also scheduled in the house of representatives for saturday. Democratic majority leader nancy pelosi had summoned the delegates back to washington on sunday. She explained that a vote should be taken on a ban on short messages in the postal service, which would put the offer below the level of the 1. January 2020 love.

As for the additional funding needed, there is currently talk of $25 billion for postal operations. The weibe house had previously conditioned its approval on an overall resolution to the dispute over aid to the u.S. Economy in the corona crisis, but recently backed away from that position.

The situation at the post office has become the center of attention in the past few days. With the corona pandemic, it is expected that many americans will resort to brieahl and not go to the polling station. The post office warned nearly all states it could not guarantee ballots would arrive on time – while dismantling sorting machines and mailboxes.

Democrats then voiced suspicions that dejoy was trying to obstruct the brieahl. "The president is clearly trying to sabotage this election," connecticut state democratic attorney general william tong told the CNN news network. "We are in a national crisis," democratic senator cory booker pointed out.

Following the criticism, it was announced that the dismantling of mailboxes and sorting machines would be halted until the election. Trump defended the cuts as an attempt to stop losses in the government postal service. "The post office has lost 78 billion dollars in a short period of time," trump told the fox news channel. "She was terribly led, and we are correcting that."Later trump expressly rejected the accusations. "I have instructed everyone to speed up the mail, not to slow down the mail."

In addition to dejoy, the head of the post office’s board of directors, robert duncan, will also take questions from deputies in the house of representatives’ committee on oversight and reform on monday of next week. They were subpoenaed last week.

There is a gap in the financing of the interior and exterior renovation of the wirmsthal church. The catholic church foundation st. Johannes therefore made a grant request to the market, since it – also due to the corona crisis – can not close the gap alone.

The municipal council already approved two years ago a support and provided a further partial amount in prospect. The renovation costs currently amount to about 487000 euro. Euerdorf has contributed 200,000 euros to date and another 14,000 euros in the future. Another 6000 euros are still available, provided that the corresponding costs can be presented at the final accounting. The diocese contributed 180,000 euros. In the opinion of mayor peter bergel, it should be the first address for a further grant. But they make themselves a "narrow shoe", as he suspected.

Wirmsthal councillors edgar roder and bernhard herterich listed the renovation costs, which included the purchase of new loudspeakers and a ventilation system. As roder pointed out, a great deal of the foundation’s own work also went into the project. Herterich insisted on the commitment of 44 percent by the market, which still wants to pay out a residual amount.

Statute change for kita

Dieter brand recalled the church renovation in euerdorf. He argued that the church congregation of euerdorf had many more members than the one in wirmsthal. The amount of donations could therefore not be used as a yardstick. 375 euros per wirmsthaler believer was raised, based on the number of church members. The council rejected by a majority, and against the votes of the wirmsthal elected representatives, the proposal for a further contribution to the costs by the municipality, other than the one listed above.

A new version of the nine-year-old statutes for the municipal daycare center, the "haus fur kinder", has become necessary. For example, regular lunches and data protection were anchored in the articles of association. Elmar hofmann, however, felt that the term "inclusion" was missing from the in the set of rules, which he described as a "subversive influence" the motto was: "this child is too difficult, it must go away". Hofmann was able to report on this from his own experience and insisted that the idea of inclusion be included in the articles of association.

According to michael fell’s advice, the kindergarten management should think about the respective number of children from euerdorf and wirmsthal and take them into account first before accepting foreign children. The last fee increase was in the fall of 2015. An adjustment was also necessary. The council passed the bylaws against one vote.

For an emergency service and minor inspections for damage to the water supply and sewer lines in the administrative community, the board authorized the mayor to hire the most economical bidder. Submission is on 21. July. The company hell, which also carried out the renovation, is entrusted with the repair inspections of the renovated cemetery in euerdorf. For the relocation of graves whose useful life has expired, straightening and repairs are due 18 000 euros, which the body approved.

Almost 1000 euro will be returned

Further costs arose for the new town hall for the toilet partition walls in the amount of almost 4000 euro and for the construction cleaning costs (5800 euro). Additional payments are to be made for the missing position of the lettering "rathaus" in the list (about 1450 euro). It is probably a rarity that an addendum is in favor of the builder. In this case, it concerns the shading work for which the market has paid a "thousand euros" back up. The market town council approved the above-mentioned positions by a majority vote.

In order to inform the citizens, bergel plans a free "market bulletin to be issued. The draft offer of the monthly brochure provides for four pages. For the 650 pieces, the price is 178 euros. A site visit to the wirmsthal cemetery is planned for 31. July scheduled at 6 pm. This is also about access for wheelchairs and walkers.

Alice schwarzer: much remains to be done

Women still feel disadvantaged – in terms of earnings and in church contexts especially. And 39 percent think chancellor angela merkel is not doing enough for them. According to a survey, the old feminist alice schwarzer as editor of the magazine "emma" 61 percent said that they had to organize themselves more effectively.

World champion in organizing

because alice schwarzer is just as well known for her clear opinions as the institute for opinion polls in allensbach is for its seriousness, it is clear that women do not want angela merkel to give them more support in sitting out in general or in doing household chores in particular. Because so-called female work is still stuck to the supposedly weak sex. And so women are certainly world champions when it comes to balancing work, family, friends and caring for close relatives.

The work of women is self-evident

the fact that many of them do not get the recognition they deserve may be due to the fact that women make far too little fuss about their achievements. But it may also be due to the fact that women’s work is taken for granted. Neither alice schwarzer nor a survey can change that.
