RIVERSIDE (CNS) - The Board of Supervisors Tuesday, Sept. 1 unanimously approved the formation of a committee to examine ways of converting many Riverside County government workers into permanent telecommuters.
``This may be a historic opportunity because of the changes we're all facing, with the way we do business,'' Supervisor Kevin Jeffries said. ``We don't need the same number of cubicles or parking spaces. Employees don't always have to come in.''
