Good Tuesday morning in New York City, where the taxi union and Uber are both demanding healthcare for drivers.
Here’s what else is happening:
- New York City is launching a program today to wipe out the interest on certain unpaid tickets to incentivize homeowners and small businesses to pay back $25 million in outstanding fines.
- Our mailboxes and lampposts are covered in stickers and they'll probably stay that way.
- Cash-strapped Jersey City is removing trash cans from city sidewalks in an effort to save money on garbage pickup.
- Actor Selma Blair pleaded not guilty in Queens Criminal Court yesterday after allegedly harming two flight attendants on a flight into JFK Airport and then kicking a police officer and a nurse.
- The Big Apple Triathlon, which involves a swim in the Hudson, successfully returned over the weekend.
- Credit to Jane on the Upper West Side for adopting so many dogs.
- We got an "NCIS."
And finally, happy for this family:
