As for the cut to contributory retirement, the Mayor said that number is given to the city by the Public Employment Retirement Administration Commission (PERAC), and is contractually obligated. “The auditor will support me in this. Statutorily, they can’t cut this number,” he said, adding that the Council will have to change their votes to put it back in. Sullivan said some depart- ments got cut and some didn’t, and some of the cuts seemed personal. “For example, every- one in my office received a cut,” he said. Sullivan said some of those cuts were also statutory, such as the Mayor’s salary, which is set through an ordinance, and has to go through an ordinance change to be reduced. Also reduced in the Mayor’s office were the Facilities Manager and City Advancement Officer positions. Sullivan said the cut to the Facilities Manager Bryan Forrette was for his building license, which is required. Sullivan said currently the City Advancement Officer posi- tion, formerly held by Joe Mitchell, is being contracted out for another three months, due to activity in the Elm Street Urban Renewal Project and the Turnpike Industrial Park. Also reduced was funding for the Westfield Redevelopment Authority.

DADDY’S HOME Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein YOUR Contract Bridge HOROSCOPE By Jaqueline Bigar

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, July 3, 2019: This year, your ingenuity comes to the res- cue more often than not. You seem to be able to come up with solutions with great ease. If single, you meet many people this year; you’re like a magnet. You have quite a few choices to make. If you’re attached, you and your partner experience your bond with DUSTIN By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker greater intensity. As angry as you might get, you’ll be equally as loving. Take frequent timeouts together. A fellow CANCER could appear unstable; their moods change quickly.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH Face facts: You simply feel drained or discouraged. Your signature va-va-voom might not be apparent. If you can, work from home; better yet, take a day off. Avoid Mark Buford a power play. If possible, delay a decision. SCARY GARY Tonight: Get some extra R and R. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Your communication might be ex- cellent, but others don’t seem to respond to, or even hear, your voice. Stop. You might need to wait; find a more receptive audience or communicate in a more basic style. To- night: Head home early. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Try not to go overboard or give in to a special craving or desire. You alone can judge how bad or good this indulgence Crosswords might be. In any case, stop to look at the long-term implications. You don’t need to DOGS of C-KENNEL Mick and Mason Mastroianni agree with a partner about an expenditure or loan. Tonight: Pay bills first. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You feel more together than you have for a long time. How you handle a personal matter could change radically be- cause of what you feel and perceive in the moment. Refrain from a knee-jerk reaction. Tonight: Be you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH You might want to hold back for an- other day. You need to gather more facts and information in general before making a de- cision. Trust your sixth sense; if you need to, initiate a talk. A friend might be unusually B.C. Mastroianni and Hart demanding. Tonight: Be true to yourself. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Use today to the max. If you have an important decision to make or need to have a key talk, now is the time. Others will most likely consent and go along with your wishes. A child or loved one could be con- trary. Let this person be. You cannot change him or her. Tonight: Where the crowds are. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Maintain your presence at work or in a key meeting. Others want to hear from you. You might not want to publicly discuss something that’s becoming a demanding domestic situation. You might not be as ONE BIG HAPPY Rick Detorie flexible as you think you are. Tonight: Out late. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH How you deal with an important person, who is at a distance and not readily available, could make a substantial differ- ence in the outcome. You could easily land in a situation where one party doesn’t hear the other, and vice versa. Tonight: Share news with a good friend. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH If you’re making a financial deci- sion, defer to another party. Postponing any activity or decision-making would be best. You could receive a lot of flak from an- ANDY CAPP Mahoney, Goldsmith and Garnett other person. Let that moment go as well. Tonight: Opt to catch up on a favorite TV series. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH If you feel stressed, the other party is even more stressed. How you deal with this is up to you. Optimism and excess appear to walk hand in hand. Be more direct about your desires. Tonight: Accept an invitation out. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Your self-discipline pays off in spades. Know what you want; you’ll be Cryptoquip able to achieve just that, perhaps not imme- diately but soon. If someone is cantanker- ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe ous or difficult, expect some flak. Tonight: Join friends after dinner. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Your more creative and for- tunate side emerges, allowing you to see what’s good despite an argument with someone. You don’t need to hang around this person. Opt to take off and handle a matter exclusively. Tonight: Hook up with some friends.
