NPR reported that Postmaster General Louis DeJoy's 10-year plan has been met with criticism from some members of the US Postal Service's Board of Governors.

The news outlet reported that the board's governor, Ronald Stroman said the decision isn't justified by the "relatively low financial return," and creates dangerous risks.

DeJoy said adjustments have been made, but still wants to move forward with the plan.

NPR said DeJoy announced the plan in March. The goal is to ensure longterm financial stability for the post office.
