Public Announcement -- Prevent Mail Theft

Public Announcement -- Prevent Mail Theft
The Churchill County Sheriff's office has seen a marked increase in mail theft from county road mailboxes. The Sheriff is asking residents "if you see suspicious activity near mailboxes, please contact the Sheriff's Office right away." The Sheriff also offers several tips to make it more difficult for thieves to get to mail or packages: 1. If you are going on vacation, contact the Post Office to have your mail held at the Post Office until your return. 2. Do not leave your mail in the mailbox for long periods of time. A lot of people do not collect their mail daily, and this makes it easy pickings for thieves. 3. Sign up with the Post Office for informed delivery at https://informeddelivery.usps.com/ and you will receive an email showing your mail to be delivered that day. This will alert you of important mail to retrieve as soon as possible. 4. Watch out for your neighbors. In rural areas, we tend to know our neighbors and odd foot or vehicle traffic tends to stick out. If something looks suspicious, notify law enforcement so we can stop these thieves. The Sheriff says, "don't just post on Facebook, call us so we can take a report."     Never miss a meeting or community event – keep an eye on the community calendar at https://www.thefallonpost.org/events/ If you like what we’re doing, please support our effort to provide local, independent news and contribute to The Fallon Post, your online news source for all things Fallon.

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
