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.
