Last August, the city of Bonn started taxing the city’s prostitutes with street meters. Over the last six months, the city has reaped the benefits of the meters, collecting around $20,000 in taxes.

A spokesman for the German Association of Cities and Municipalities, told The New York Times he expects other German cities to follow in Bonn’s footsteps as the nation’s 11,000 municipalities are struggling with a combined $11 billion debt.

Perhaps the state of Nevada could follow suit…more details can be found at Huffington Post.
