St. Louis company says months-long USPS delays are bad for business
SUMMARY: Of course! Please provide the content you’d like me to summarize.
Just north of downtown St. Louis sits JP Bushnell Packing Supply Co. The unassuming exterior houses one of the largest hose, belt, pump, and sheet packing distributors in the Midwest. It’s a small company with some big accounts.
โWe have Ameren. We have Anheuser Busch. We have the City of St. Louis. We do have some accounts that are not in the United States. We ship all around the world,โ Gina Bardol said.
Bardol handles the company’s accounting. What she can’t account for lately is when their mail arrives.
โIt started once and a while with one check or two checks just coming a couple weeks late. Then all the sudden we started noticing some bills were not coming. They were coming past the due date. We’re getting checks four months after they’ve been mailed. That’s just not acceptable,โ she said.
In early August, Gina contacted the postal service with her concerns. In it, a USPS representative told her the business’s main mail carrier said they should have no problem receiving mail, adding he assumed the issues may happen on days he’s not working or on vacation.

Child care providers owed thousands in delayed subsidiesย
SUMMARY: Childcare providers are facing financial difficulties due to delays in state subsidy payments, exacerbated by a software transition at the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. This transition has caused communication issues, leading to slow processing of subsidy claims, with providers owed substantial amountsโone reported $17,000. Families already qualified for care cannot secure spaces, impacting availability due to half-capacity operations. While the state is offering additional American Rescue Plan funds to help, providers argue it’s insufficient to cover their losses, prompting calls for consistent monthly payments from the state to stabilize their finances amid ongoing difficulties.
Lisa Scheer at Baden Christian Child Care Center says most of the families they serve need help paying for child care. Their tuition is supposed to be paid for through state subsidies.ย
