Over a barrel, city of Niagara Falls seeks life in new grads | Fox News

Over a barrel, city of Niagara Falls seeks life in new grads | Fox News: "Just 20 people will be selected for the first round of buyers and renters, whom the city would pay up to $3,500 in annual student loan payments for two years."

"Local officials have said the program could help ensure that the shrinking city doesn’t dip below a population count of 50,000 for the 2020 Census, when it would lose key funding through the state and federal governments. In 2010, the city had a population of 50,193, down from 55,593 in 2000."

$7,000 per person?!?! And they may not even be around for the next census!
