  • Legal Roundtable tackles universal basic income lawsuit, Bar:PM crash, more
    Jun 26 2024
    The City of St. Louis faces a lawsuit over its universal basic income program. The program gives $500 a month to lower-income families chosen by a lottery, but lawyers with the Holy Joe Society argue that violates the state constitution's requirement that public funds can’t go to private individuals. This month’s Legal Roundtable convenes to analyze the merits of the lawsuit. Attorneys Susan McGraugh, Arindam Kar and Dave Roland also discuss a lawsuit brought by the owners of Bar:PM after police crashed an SUV into their bar, why the Supreme Court rejected Missouri’s case alleging government officials pressured social media companies, and more.
