REPORT: Harvey Milk Stamp Approved?
Citing a leaked document, the Bay Area Reporter says that the USPS may issue a commemorative Harvey Milk stamp next year.
Linn's Stamp News, a weekly publication that covers the mail service, is reporting in its May 27 issue that Milk was among the special stamps chosen for next year by the Citizens Stamp Advisory Committee during its closed door meetings earlier this year. An anonymous source sent Linn's a copy of the panel's January 31 and February 1 meeting minutes where 2014 stamps were debated and chosen. It included a notation that the minutes regarding the Milk stamp, along with a number of other choices, had been approved at an April 13 meeting.The BAR notes that "there is no certainty" that the Milk stamp has made the cut. According to the office of the Postmaster General, the final list of next year's commemorative stamps will be issued in August or September. (Tipped by JMG reader Homer)
