Wyoming residents turned out in force to voice their complaints about the idea of slower statewide mail delivery. But they didn't get as many answers as they had questions.

The U.S. Postal Service held an online forum Thursday, with the promise of discussing the proposal to move all of Wyoming's large mail processing centers to other states, which will chop $3 billion in costs - but will do so by sacrificing rural mail delivery, reports Cowboy State Daily's Renee Jean.

"The Postal Regulatory Commission is ultimately the one who will decide if this plan moves forward or not.
