NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Postal cuts are on the way. Most of the mail you see delivered on Saturday will soon become a thing of the past. The U.S. Postal Service says you can expect the big changes this Summer. The Postal Service says it's losing money and adjusting its Saturday schedule will help to save $2 billion a year. The Postal Service says fewer people are buying stamps and sending First Class mail thanks to online bill payment. Some things like mail order prescriptions, express mail and packages will be delivered on Saturdays. Customers have mixed feelings about the change.
"I approve of it," says customer Tom King. "They should do something to get a balance in their budget so they don't lose money."
"To me, the government wastes enough money," says customer Ben Kooch. "There is no need to cut mail service. I'm in business. I need Saturday mail."
The post office will maintain Saturday business hours at its branch offices and P.O. Box customers will have mail delivered on Saturday. The new Saturday schedule goes into effect in August.

TBI: Women more likely family violence victims
June 20, 2013 08:10 GMT
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A new study of domestic violence in Tennessee last year found women were nearly two times more likely to be victimized than men and children were the victims in 16 percent of all family violence cases.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation put out a report this week analyzing crime statistics from law enforcement agencies across the state. Their findings show that nearly 15 percent of all crimes reported were domestic in nature.
The study looked at the relationships between victims and offenders as well as the influence of drugs and alcohol on family violence. The study found that more than 17 percent of family violence involves drugs or alcohol, with alcohol being the most common.
