About this episode

Dennis Shea, former executive director of the 2003 Presidential Commission on the U.S. Postal Service, joins Bob to revisit the recommendations of the panel established by former PresidentGeorge W. Bush and reminisce about the panel's deliberations. The commission's report, Embracing the Future: Making the Tough Choices to Preserve Universal Mail Service , is now about 23 years old. Dennis and Bob dust it off and discuss whether the commission's conclusions still resonate and whether it's time for another high-level panel to take a look at the Postal Service. Dennis Shea is currently Executive Vice President at the Bipartisan Policy Center, a prestigious Washington-based think tank that promotes bipartisan politics and policy. Dennis' views, as expressed on NAPS Chat, do not necessarily reflect those of the Center.
