Mailing a letter now costs 39 cents, another hike likely next year
Mailing a letter now costs 39 cents, another hike likely next year
It now costs Americans 39 cents to mail a letter after new postage rates went into effect Sunday.
The increase follows legislation requiring the Postal Service to place $3 billion in an escrow account this year. Another rate boost is likely next year to cover rising costs for the agency. Stamp prices last went up in June 2002.
Many rates, such as parcel post and advertising mail, vary by distance or whether the material is presorted. Rate changes taking effect, including some estimates for typical mailed items:
I have received quite a few more reports from people about their cars getting broken into, one on Kingston & President, another on Eastern Parkway & New York Ave. and one more on Eastern Parkway & Brooklyn Ave.
If you are a victim of a break-in you MUST report it to the police and file a police report, this falls under the category of Auto Larceny which the mayors office claims has only been falling for the past years, which we all know is not true. So if you had a window broken file that police report, and also call it in to the Shomrim Hotline so the patrolling units will know where to focus.
You can call the Shomrim Hotline at (718) 774-3333 24/7
Motzoai Shabbos there were a number of patrols out, keeping an eye on our communities streets. At around 3:00am the Shomrim Hotline received a call of a robbery at the Machon Chana building (on the corner of Crown and Albany). The caller who was awoken by the noise was watching trough a window as the perpetrator was rummaging through an office apparently looking for something of value. Within a minute there were a number of Shomrim units on the scene who quickly went through the Shul and rooms, noticing that one of the office doors had been forced open. Although it didn’t seem like anything was taken, the administration had been notified. The perpetrator was not apprehended.
In another incident at 5:00am at the corner of Kingston and Montgomery someone noticed a black man under a minivan when the van’s alarm went off, the perpetrator in shock started to run, with our witness on his tail calling Shomrim, who once more had units patrolling and responded in under a minute and chased the perp who then got into a minivan of his own and began to flee, the Shomrim members got his license plate number but could not stop him. They then returned to the original scene of the crime where they notice parts of the van were dismantled but left on the street. The police arrived shortly after and filed a police report along with the information of the guy’s car from the Shomrim members.
Shomrim has units patrolling at nights but can only be in one place at a time, therefore it is critical that if anyone sees something they should call it into the Shomrim Hotline so the members can be dispatched to the right places. So if you see something don’t hesitate to call at any time of day and on any day of the week (718) 774-3333.
