(Bob Hague, WRN) A bill to overhaul the U.S. Postal Service is headed to the president’s desk.

The Senate on Tuesday approved the 107 billion dollar Postal Service Reform Act. USPS leaders say the financial overhaul will provide needed relief for the agency, allowing it to modernize and invest in efficient service.

The Senate vote was 79 to 19, with Wisconsin Republican Ron Johnson among the no votes. Janesville Republican Brian Steil was lone no vote from Wisconsin when the bill passed the House in February, 342-92. President Joe Biden has signaled his intent to sign the legislation.
