Days before the U.S. Postal Service announced record-setting losses in September, the nation’s top postal regulator traveled to Scotland for meetings with European envelope manufacturers.

A few weeks later, Postal Regulatory Commission Chairman Ruth Y. Goldway visited Portugal, Switzerland and China to meet with international postal regulators.

The cash-strapped U.S. Postal Service has announced plans to eliminate more than 250 processing centers.

Goldway has incurred at least $70,600 in official domestic and international travel expenses during her tenure, outpacing her predecessor, according to commission travel records obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request.

Mind you the US letter carriers seem to like D2Ds they even advertise for them.
