(CNSNews.com) - Inside the measure the D.C. Council passed to raise the district’s minimum wage to $15 an hour was an amendment to have a study on the possibility of having government provide a basic income to D.C. residents.
“Raising the minimum wage is a good thing, but is $15 enough? Or should the number be $35 or $50 an hour?" Councilman David Grosso (I-At-Large) said during Tuesday night's meeting.
“In order to comprehensively address the need of our residents we should consider all avenues, to include transferring away from the traditional welfare system into a minimum income system,” said Grosso.
“A minimum income system is an alternative social welfare provision with the basic idea of providing a floor of income upon which residents can build other sources of revenue.”
