Letter to the editor: We would like to express our support for Repre sentative Greg Smith for Oregon House District 57. We have known Greg for many years and have always been impressed with his ability to work for his constituents, with integrity and professionalism. His knowledge gained from years of service in the state legislature make him effective and during the past two years we have witnessed this first hand with an issue affecting rural pharmacies in the state of Oregon. Many rural pharmacies were unable to participate in the Oregon Prescription Drug Program which the state had expanded to include many large em ployer groups. Many meetings across the state and even legislation was involved to finally resolve this issue. We watched and were very grateful for Greg’s ability to solve problems in a professional, courteous and respectful man ner. We are lucky to have Rep. Smith working for us and we enthusiastically recommend a vote to return Greg to Salem to work for us.
