Inspired by Valley Veterans, Coastal Bend Pharmacists Say They Will March



The Rio Grande Guardian, an internet political magazine covering South Texas and the border communities, is reporting that the recent march by the Valley Veterans has stirred some "voices in the blood" of many in the pharmacists community. Coastal Bend pharmacists are threatening to march on Austin if the Irma Rangel Pharmacy school is not funded by the Legislative Budget Board.

“Our members are distraught that the state is not funding the pharmacy school and that because of this, it may not open on time next fall,” said Ron Garza, president of the Coastal Bend Pharmacy Association.

“We will march to Austin, just like our forefathers, if that is what it takes. And we will get the students of South Texas to join us. They will not disappoint us in this crusade.”

As for me, I need a little rest boys, but will be up and about in a few days! Just joking! We will keep an eye on this story and be there if you need us.

UPDATE: The Corpus Christi Caller Times has the story.
