This bill renaming the post office after Elijah Cummings is a waste of time and taxpayer money. Why not focus on more important issues like healthcare or education? Did you know that this bill was introduced by Senator Chris Van Hollen from Maryland?

I just don't get why they gotta name this post office after Elijah Cummings. I mean, I know he did some good stuff and all, but why does it have to be this post office? It just seems kinda random to me. I wish they would've picked a different way to honor him, ya know? Just my two cents.
