Friday June 29 1:18 PM ET Some Postage Rates Go Up on Sunday dailynews.yahoo.com By RANDOLPH E. SCHMID, Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) - It's time for postal rates to rise again. Facing the possibility of a nearly $2 billion shortfall, the Postal Service is imposing its second rate increase this year. The agency already has frozen construction projects and hiring. There also has been talk of applying for an additional increase late this year or next year. ........................................................................ As rising fuel prices and other costs began pushing the agency into the red, its governing board voted unanimously to overrule the commission and institute the prices that had been rejected earlier ........................................................................................................................ While the 34-cent rate for the first ounce of first-class mail remains the same, the cost for each additional ounce will climb from 21 cents to 23 cents. The price of sending a postcard will rise a penny to 21 cents. Many other rates increase also, including an across-the-board 0.2 cent per piece boost for all first-class bulk mail.
