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

Program.
SB 735-A should
be up for a H ouse vote

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... M y Thanks in advance for your
contributions.
