SPRINGFIELD — Today, Congresswoman Nikki Budzinski (IL-13) released the following statement on the selection of David P. Steiner as the new United States Postmaster General. The Postmaster General is the chief executive officer of the United States Postal Service and is responsible for managing and directing the day-to-day operations of the agency. “I’ve long fought to strengthen and improve the United States Postal Service for my constituents and have been outspoken against efforts to privatize the Postal Service.

This raises real concerns about the direction Mr. Steiner may take the Postal Service, where over 91% of the workforce is unionized. “Let me be clear: keeping the Postal Service as a public good and defending the rights of postal employees are non-negotiable.

BENTON — A federal judge has sentenced Alen Saric, 36, of St. Louis, to 87 months in prison for his role in a $1.7 million vehicle sale fraud scheme that targeted private sellers in Madison, Jasper, Bond and Fayette counties in southern Illinois. Saric pleaded guilty in February to conspiracy to commit wire fraud, interstate transportation of property obtained by fraud, and aggravated identity theft. The scheme involved using counterfeit cashier’s checks to purchase vehicles on Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist from 2018 until August 2023.
