California legislature approves $35 million guaranteed income program

[JustTheNews] The unanimously approved plan will be the first of its kind in the country

No mention in the article, and presumably in the bill, about where the money is to come for funding this. Which should make California’s current debt even more interesting for the ever fewer taxpayers in the state.

Lawmakers in California, on Thursday, approved the first state-funded guaranteed income plan in the country.

The plan will allot $35 million for monthly cash payments going to qualifying pregnant women and young adults who recently left foster care. There will be no restrictions on how the recipients spend the money.

The measure passed unanimously in the state House and Senate, illustrating bipartisan support for the measure.

"If you look at the stats for our foster youth, they are devastating," said Republican state Senate leader Scott Wilk. "We should be doing all we can to lift these young people up."

Guaranteed income programs are gaining popularity across the country as cities in Florida, Louisiana, Washington and California move to implement them for families and individuals in need.

The newly passed program in California will be organized through local governments, which will apply to the state Department of Social Services to receive funding. Local officials will determine the size of the monthly payments, which have mostly ranged from $500 to $1,000 a person.

#1 But that will only cover the manager, three secretaries, and round the clock security.
Call back next year to see if we've got any money to give out.

#2 No mention of where money will come from? No need to mention - we all know where. Redistribution is now a thing. One more reason to leave CA.

#4 The money comes from the Federal Government already. Every time an infrastructure bill is created by Pelosi and Company massive bailout money for California etc. is in the fine print.
