A nice unexpected initiative coming out of Kentucky, USA. Start of a trend...?
Chief Tony Vaughn made the request during the commission’s regular meeting last week, explaining under his proposed arrangement the city would take out all applicable taxes from his salary as normal, and then convert the take-home pay to Bitcoin, which is then transferred instantly to Vaughn.
Vaughn added the city can also begin accepting Bitcoin through the city’s planned website, on which the city will be establishing a portal to accept monetary donations. Since the passage of the city’s fairness ordinance, Vicco has received numerous donations, including several pieces of playground equipment currently being installed next to City Hall.
