Your article, “Generics combat costs,” (Journal, Nov. 4): why does Placer County need a “cost saving task force”? It is simple, the Placer County supervisors are not capable of running a business. If they were business people, you would not have written this article.

Case in point: “Supervisors also accepted a recommendation by a committee to require employees to buy recycled printer ink cartridges instead of new ones.”

Please tell me why a committee needs to tell the supervisors what to do. These supervisors are not business personnel. We need business people to run this county.
