Representative Smith promotes Frontier Pharmacy Legislation Often real solutions to governm ent problem s take tim e to im plem ent. Such w as the case w ith Senate Bill 735-A, a piece o f legislation that modifies adm inistrative provisions for the Oregon Prescription D rug Program (O PD P). Specifically, SB 735-A al lows OPDP to establish dif ferent prices for pharmacies in rural areas to maintain statew ide access to the pro gram (Section 1. Item 6). B ack in A u g u st 2008 Murray’s Drug, a lo cal frontier pharmacist, told Rep Smith they where be ing asked by OPDP to dis pense medicine at a reim bursement rate insufficient to cover their fixed costs. Compounding the problem, local school teachers, who wanted to purchase their m edicine locally, had to leave the community to get their prescriptions filled. The O regon Pre scrip tio n D rug Program was not compensating its frontier pharm acists at a rate necessary to cover their actual cost o f dispensing medications. Compounding the problem, the legislature in 2007 passed legislation requiring local school dis tricts to provide prescrip tion drug coverage using Oregon Prescription Drug Program. SB 735-A should be up for a H ouse vote Monday. Red Hats to meet June 18 YOUR ASSISTANCE NEEDED. I need help with a new book project. After the recent passing of my father and listening to all the great stories, not just about him but about his peers as well. I realize that they need to be compiled for all of us and future generations to enjoy and cherish. There is an era of color ful characters, our parents and grandparents mostly that lived much differently than we're allowed to live today. Some would call them the good ol days"! W e all agree you just cant get away with things you used to be able to get away with. I plan to call the book "The Best and Last of Eastern Oregon’s Greatest Outlaws" "An era of upstanding citizens who got a way with hell!!!" Please mail or e-mail me your stories said please don't be shy! M y goal is not to embarrass anyone, but to share the memories and the laughter. Pictures are encour aged and appreciated. Everyone contributing will receive a copy of the book and your names can be included or kept anonymous. I hope I count on everyone, I can't write this book with-out you...
