While Upthegrove did not respond to inquiries to join KIRO Radio’s Dori Monson Show to discuss the proposal, his fellow councilmember Reagan Dunn shared his own thoughts on UBI. “He wants to put a quote, unquote ‘study’ together to look at the impacts of proposing a universal basic income program throughout King County,” Dunn said. “And my experience with these quote unquote ‘studies,’ is they are the easiest way for the Democrats to get the camel’s nose under the tent.”
