朗兹回应邮政监察报告：南达科他州邮件服务不达标，苏福尔斯处理中心将升级
华盛顿——联邦参议员迈克·朗兹（Mike Rounds）10月5日就美国邮政署（USPS）监察长办公室发布的南达科他州邮件服务状况报告发表声明。这项调查是朗兹2025年12月要求启动的。
朗兹说：“监察长的报告证实了我们多年来听到和看到的：美国邮政署没有为南达科他人提供合格的服务，这并不令人意外。我们听到数千名南达科他人的真实担忧：退伍军人拿不到按时送达的处方药，账单逾期才到，报纸送到时已经成了旧闻。”
报告发布之际，邮政署已宣布，应朗兹的要求，将把苏福尔斯邮件处理设施升级为区域性设施，让更多州内邮件留在南达科他州处理。朗兹对监察长塔米·赫尔（Tammy Hull）及其团队的审查表示感谢，并表示将密切关注邮政署如何落实报告中的改进建议。
“在那之前，我们会继续施压，争取恢复到不仅达标、而且超预期的服务标准。”朗兹说。

Rounds Responds to USPS OIG Report: South Dakota Mail Service Falling Short; Sioux Falls Facility to Be Upgraded
WASHINGTON — U.S. Senator Mike Rounds (R-S.D.) issued a statement Oct. 5 following the release of the United States Postal Service (USPS) Office of the Inspector General's report on mail service in South Dakota — an investigation Rounds requested in December 2025.
"It's encouraging and unsurprising that the Inspector General's report studying the mail service in South Dakota shows evidence to back up what we've been hearing and seeing for years: the United States Postal Service is not adequately serving South Dakotans," Rounds said. "We've heard from thousands of South Dakotans who have real concerns about their mail service. Veterans aren't getting prescriptions on time, bills are arriving after they're due and newspapers are old news by the time they make it to your doorstep."
The report comes as USPS announced that, at Rounds' request, the Sioux Falls processing facility will be upgraded to a regional facility, keeping more intrastate mail in South Dakota. Rounds thanked Inspector General Tammy Hull and her team for the review and said he will watch closely how USPS implements the report's recommendations.
"Until then, we'll keep the pressure on and continue to fight for a return to service standards that not only meet but exceed expectations," Rounds said.
