"Of course, this step carries the highest legal risk and is the most likely to be accused of illegally issuing currency," Arthur added. "So we must be extremely careful to define it in the legal documents as an employee benefit discount voucher, and never as part of their wages."
"Next is the matter of the municipal budget you were concerned about."
Arthur's tone relaxed a little.
"When we create the budget, we will still denominate it in US Dollars. This is to comply with the state's auditing standards."
"But in the revenue breakdown, we'll list a separate line item for non-cash offset revenue."
"This revenue can't be used to pay police officers' salaries or cover Federal social security contributions. However, it has one specific purpose: to offset government procurement."
Arthur drew a giant equal sign on the whiteboard.
