Steve Kagen, The Obama Chicago Way.

Chicago way of politics over the Green Bay and Oshkosh post offices possible closings.

A good read from Market Place.

The third, and more interesting, thought is that Oshkosh, of course, is not in the Eighth Congressional District. Oshkosh is in the Sixth Congressional District, represented by U.S. Rep. Tom Petri (R–Fond du Lac). One could conclude from this news release that Kagen would be perfectly happy with “some 40–45 family supporting jobs” being moved out of the Oshkosh post office as a result of the Postal Service’s study.

The Postal Service is an easy target for criticism, much of it justified. But Kagen has no business intervening in Postal Service business for the purpose of acting like a Chicago alderman. What appears to be happening is that, this being an election year, Kagen is trying to stick it to his colleague to the south for partisan political advantage.
