- This bill designates a postal service facility in Krakow, Wisconsin, with a new name.
- The impact is primarily symbolic, focusing on the memory and honor of Romuald "Bud" Brzezinski.
- Typical target populations include mail customers accessing the facility, postal service employees working there, and residents of Krakow, Wisconsin.
Reasoning
- The policy is symbolic and mainly affects the local community by honoring an individual through the renaming of a facility.
- Financial constraints of $5,000 USD spread over ten years indicates that impact is minimal and mainly ceremonial.
- People directly using the post office, including employees and residents, are most likely to be touched by the change, emotionally or culturally.
- A balance of locals and individuals who might not be directly influenced, but use the USPS, are included in the interviews.
