Judge Halts Funding for St. Louis Basic Income Program
What’s Next for the City’s Universal Basic Income Program?
According to JustTheNews, A judge has told the city of St. Louis to stop giving money to people under a special program. This program was started to help people who don’t have enough money. The judge said that the city didn’t provide enough evidence to show that the program was fair and good.
The program was giving $500 each month to about 500 families. The city’s mayor, Tishaura Jones, wanted to keep the program going. However, the judge said that the program is not following the rules of the state and the city. The judge told the city to stop giving money to individuals, but they could still use some money for administrative costs.
