Your Pedicure Looks Clean. Your Footbath Might Not Be.

A Manhattan podiatrist on the salon habits that send women to her office, and the five questions that keep your toes pretty and healthy. The short version: Pedicures can spread fungus, warts and bacteria through footbath jets, shared tools and tiny nicks in the skin. Manhattan podiatrist Dr. Rebecca Pruthi advises asking how footbaths and tools are cleaned, choosing salons that sterilize instruments, going early on weekdays, skipping leg shaving for 24 hours beforehand, and checking your feet afterward.

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. But if the past is any guide , the Democrat-dominated Legislature will likely seek a suite of income tax hikes on the richest New Yorkers — changes designed to generate

A Brownsville man who has lived at NYCHA's Tilden Houses for about 41 years has gone nearly four months without cooking gas, according to his mother, who says the single hot plate the housing authority gave him in September is no substitute for a working stove.

Artist busted painting tribute to slain NYC teen that featured bullets for birthday candles

An Instagram-famous artist was busted while painting a tribute to a murdered Bronx teen– leaving behind his unfinished mural of brains being washed, chained heads and bullet-shaped birthday candles. David Miklatski, 37 — a California-based artist who goes by the moniker David Sabastian and has more than 460,000 Instagram followers — was arrested Wednesday while working on the mural on the side of Mision de Dios church in Third Avenue near East 171st Street in The Bronx, according to police. The mural was intended to honor Javits Frimpong , the 15-year-old Ghanaian immigrant fatally shot in the stomach by still-at-large suspects while walking to school near the church Oct. 29. The unfinished mural included a chessboard with pawns, a washing machine containing brains and a portrait of the teen victim above a birthday cake with bullets for candles. Georgette Roberts for NY Post But the artist’s black-and-white vision — which included black men with chains and padlocks around their heads — angered some community member who said the grieving neighborhood needed a portrait, not a provocative statement. “We’re still in the mourning, and someone’s stupidly come here and put this thing up. This is ridiculous,” said Benjamin Richardson, 40. Manhunt
