He also has inquired about the “loyalty” of the top officials at the IRS, according to one of his advisers. Trump has long told confidants that he was under audit and therefore could not release his taxes. But in recent weeks, he has added to the argument, telling advisers that the American people elected him once without seeing his taxes and would do so again, according to the three White House officials and Republicans, who were not authorized to speak publicly about private conversations and spoke on condition of anonymity.

PAGE 6 - TUESDAY, MAY 7, 2019 www.thewestfieldnews.com THE WESTFIELD NEWS HEALTHFITNESS Health officials: Arizona sees surge of hepatitis A cases PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona is seeing a surge in hepatitis A cases, mostly in the Tucson area but also in metro Phoenix, health officials say. The outbreak of the viral disease that affects the liver began in November and cases have continued to rise since then despite efforts to step up vaccinations. The Arizona Republic reports the outbreak could take months to rein in. Many cases have been reported among homeless people, individuals with precarious housing situations and those who use illicit drugs. The homeless are more vulnerable to hepatitis A, which easily spreads when people do not have access to good hygiene and do not wash their hands after using the restroom. The disease can also spread through contaminated food and water. So far in 2019, Arizona has seen 212 cases, higher than any yearly statewide total in more than a decade, according to state statistics. Arizona health officials said they expect the number to rise. Although there have been no Arizona deaths from the dis- ease this year, public health officials say many of those infected had to be hospitalized.

After complaints about taste and costs, the Trump administration rolled back a rule that required foods like pasta and bread be made with whole grains. The cafeteria directors who lobbied for the change say they just want greater flexibility to serve foods like white bread — which are more processed and have less fiber — when whole grains don’t work. In Vermont, the relaxed rule means white rice will be served with beans again. In In this Friday, April 5, 2019 photo, Leo Oregon, macaroni and cheese may return.
