California budget has $35 million for basic income programs

California Budget Guaranteed Income FILE - In this June 4, 2020, file photo, then-Stockton Mayor Michael Tubbs, left, discusses his city with California Gov. Gavin Newsom, right, during a visit to Legendary Coffee and Books in Stockton, Calif. Newsom wants to use a portion of the state's surprise budget surplus to help pay for guaranteed income programs. Newsom's proposal would not create a statewide guaranteed income program. The state proposal is a milestone for Tubbs, who has said guaranteed income programs will only work long-term if they are run by the federal government. Getting state funding to commit to those programs is a big step toward that goal, as until now most of these local programs have been privately funded.

Mayors vow to launch guaranteed income programs across US

Mayors in at least 25 cities — from Los Angeles to Paterson, New Jersey — have pledged to support such programs as part of the group Mayors for a Guaranteed Income.

The idea of guaranteed income programs has been around for decades, but it got a lot of attention in the U.S. as the centerpiece of Andrew Yang's failed bid for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination. “We understand that a guaranteed income is not a panacea for everything (but) is a powerful tool that provides a floor for everyone."
