IT'S BEEN TALKED ABOUT FOR SOME TIME...AND NOW IT'S ABOUT TO HAPPEN. STARTING IN AUGUST, THE POSTAL SERVICE WILL END SATURDAY MAIL DELIVERY. NEW MEXICO POSTAL SPOKESMAN PETER HASS SAYS THAT WILL PROBABLY RESULT IN JOB LOSSES AT POST OFFICES IN NEW MEXICO...BUT IT'LL BE MOSTLY THROUGH ATTRITION. HE SAYS THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF EMPLOYEES IN NEW MEXICO WHO ARE ELIGIBLE TO RETIRE.

WHILE SATURDAY MAIL DELIVERY IS COMING TO AN END, HASS SAYS PACKAGE DELIVERY ON SATURDAYS WILL CONTINUE.
