Sun-Times file Arguing that the coronavirus pandemic has been an “equal opportunity destroyer” in Chicago’s Black and Brown communities, Chicago aldermen on Thursday took their first step toward a trail-blazing solution: universal basic income. Ald. Gilbert Villegas (36th), chairman of the City Council’s Committee on Economic and Capital Development, led his committee through a subject matter hearing that, he hopes, will quickly result in launching the guaranteed income pilot, using $30 million of the $1.8 billion avalanche of federal relief funds on its way to Chicago. Villegas and his co-sponsors aldermen Sophia King (4th) and Maria Hadden (49th) envision a pilot program that will give 5,000 of Chicago’s neediest families $500 a month no strings attached.
