This week, more than a hundred people in Stockton will receive $500 debit cards -- no strings attached. It will be their second cash infusion since the city began an experiment last month. They're testing whether offering Stockton residents a guaranteed income for the next year and a half can alleviate poverty. A quarter of the city's population lives in poverty.
Guest: Stockton Mayor Michael Tubbs
