West Richland Post Office: Saving Money? Energy? Both?

by on August 26, 2009 in West Richland Sights

When I walked into the post office yesterday, I couldn’t help but notice how unusually dark it was inside. Looked around and, sure enough, most of the main overhead lights were turned off. These pictures don’t really do it justice, but here goes…

Are they trying to save money? Be enviro-friendly, perhaps? I don’t know. I was the only customer inside, and as I approached the clerk, I said “It’s so dark and cool in here” in a sort-of questioning tone, but she didn’t reply. It was all very strange. The post office system as a whole is having all kinds of money trouble, and I can’t help but wonder if lights are being turned off to save money.

(BTW, despite the headline of that ABC News article, I’m not suggesting our post office is in danger of being closed. I’ve seen nothing of the sort.)
