Stewart-Cousins eyes ‘progressive taxation’ push

With help from Molly Reinmann HAPPY TUESDAY. This is Nick Reisman in Albany. Massive Democratic majorities are returning to Albany in January, giving a boost to the tax-the-rich forces. I’ve got new reporting on that dynamic. Plus my colleague has the details on a New York City Council hearing next month on student sexual assault. Have news tips or just want to share what’s on your mind? Reach me at nreisman@politico.com . Driving The Day A MASSIVE MAJORITY : Legislative Democrats will come roaring back to Albany next year with turbocharged majorities in the state Senate and Assembly. They intend to use that refreshed mandate to major effect — especially when it comes to pursuing what Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins called “progressive taxation.” “We’ve always looked at the ability of those with extraordinary wealth to be able to pay more, do more,” she told Playbook in an interview Monday. “That’s been something that our conference has talked about.” What those proposals will look like won’t be clear for months.

4 unwritten NYC social etiquette rules to not seem like an oblivious transplant

New York is being fundamentally changed by Generation Z’s migration from random suburbs that no one has ever heard of, what West Coasters vaguely refer to as “The Bay” or even worse — Los Angeles. Though I am a transplant as well as a tried-and-true Philadelphia native, city etiquette is not a foreign concept to me. For those who don’t know about the Northeast’s tendencies, take it from me that your old lifestyle won’t work here. The way you navigate the city, take public transport or even the way you express affection toward your significant other are all rooted in how you functioned back home. But you aren’t home anymore, so, as my mom would always say to me as a child, “Check yourself before you wreck yourself.”
