The city first approved the $4.02 million basic income plan in March. City revenue from marijuana sales is contributing more than $2 million to that total, according to a city press release.
The program is providing the $750 monthly payments to 80 families in two districts where students struggle with low academic performance. The city will also offer financial counseling to the families.
What families are receiving it? Is it a qualification? Or a lottery.?
So much for no strings attached.
What strings are you referencing here? Is the financial counseling mandatory?
Not everyone is eligible for this, but that’s kind of a different issue.
