Two St. Louis residents have filed a lawsuit to halt the city's guaranteed-basic-income pilot.
The program provides 540 low-income families $ 500 monthly to help them afford housing and food.
The lawsuit claims it's a Missouri constitutional violation for local leaders to give cash to residents in the form of basic income.
But it isn't clear whether the results of basic-income lawsuits in Harris County or St. Louis could affect one another or result in long-term bans — despite both cases being over the use of local government funds. In states such as South Dakota , Arizona , and Iowa , Republican politicians have also brought basic-income bans to the state legislature. Have you benefited from a guaranteed-basic-income program? Are you willing to share how you spent the money? Reach out to these reporters at [email protected] and [email protected]..
