Judge orders St. Louis to stop guaranteed basic income payments

(The Center Square) – A judge ordered the City of St. Louis to stop its guaranteed basic income program, possibly marking the first time a court granted an injunction to stop payments.

St. Louis Circuit Court Judge Joseph Whyte ordered St. Louis Comptroller Darlene Green, Treasurer Adam Layne and Mayor Tishaura Jones to immediately stop making any deposits to financial institutions for funding the project, except for administrative costs, and stop all payments to private individuals under the program.

Two weeks ago, Judge Whyte granted a temporary order to stop the payments as part of a lawsuit filed by Greg Tumlin, a counselor, and Fred Hale, the former chairman of the Republican party in the city. more

  1. “As noble as Ordinance No. 71591’s cause may be, it’s not what the court is being asked to decide,” Whyte wrote. “The court is only being asked to decide the constitutionality and legality of the ordinance.”

    Never concede good intentions to any progressive/Marxist/Satanist. It’s never warranted.

  2. The real reason it should be illegal is that the over-taxed payers didn’t get to weigh in on using their money to pay bums a guaranteed income… for life… that will only go up!
