We were honored to welcome Missouri Lieutenant Governor David Wasinger to Lawrence County hosted by State Representative Mitch Boggs for a day spent showcasing some of the incredible places, people, and projects that make our communities special.

The tour included stops at the Missouri Veterans Home in Mt. Vernon, and next the Lawrence County Route 66 sign project made possible through support from the Lieutenant Governor’s Office. We visited the historic Mickey Owen Baseball School where guests heard about the revitalization and preservation efforts conducted by the Hadlock family to honor its history, but also the tremendous efforts to enhance that legacy by making Mickey Owen Baseball School a premiere destination to play, enjoy local fine dining, and stay in the beautifully restored Route 66 Cabin Rentals. Guests enjoyed lunch prepared by The Dining Hall Steakhouse & Event Center, and the day concluded at Humpback Dairy near Miller, highlighting the strength and innovation of our very diverse local agricultural industry.

We are grateful for leaders who take the time to visit our communities, listen to local voices, and see firsthand the opportunities and successes happening right here in Lawrence County. Strong relationships between local, regional, and state leaders as well as partnerships with business owners help create a brighter future for our businesses, residents, and communities.

Thank you to Representative Mitch Boggs and his wife Lynn, Lieutenant Governor David Wasinger, and everyone who made accommodations and helped make today’s tour possible. Thank you to local leaders, regional partners, and all who attended.

We 🤍 Lawrence County!

Independent pharmacies are more than places to fill prescriptions. They are business owners, local employers, community partners, and a critical part of healthcare access in our rural communities. Many locally owned pharmacies are facing increasing financial pressure due to current reimbursement and payment practices that put these small businesses at a disadvantage.

H.R. 6610 seeks to address these concerns and help create a more sustainable environment for independent pharmacies to continue serving their communities. Supporting our local pharmacies means supporting local jobs, local investment, and access to personalized healthcare services close to home.

To voice your support, please consider contacting Representative Eric Burlison's office and ask for his support of H.R. 6610. Want to know how this directly affects us here in Mount Vernon? Contact our members at Hometown Pharmacy and Landrum Drug RX. Hear it straight from our local residents how PBMs and current practices hurt their businesses.

Representative Burlison's Washington D.C. office: 202-225-6536
Springfield Office: (417) 889-1800
Joplin Office: (417) 781-1041

Strong local businesses help build strong communities!

PLEASE take time and call Representative Eric Burlison and ask him to support HR6610!! His number is 202-225-6536
