CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) — Planned legislation to establish new business areas in Nevada would allow technology companies to effectively form separate local governments.

Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak announced a plan to launch so-called Innovation Zones in Nevada to jumpstart the state’s economy by attracting technology firms, Las Vegas Review-Journal reported Wednesday.

The zones would permit companies with large areas of land to form governments carrying the same authority as counties, including the ability to impose taxes, form school districts and courts and provide government services.

The measure to further economic development with the “alternative form of local government” has not yet been introduced in the Legislature.

Company towns have existed in the US before, often collapsing when the industry owner’s business declined and then the whole town’s wages would decline with no change in rent or cost of living. They still exist in new forms like mega-developments or planned cities, where a few large companies control the whole development of the town, sometimes establishing its government too. This is hardly different from normal American cities, where local and state governments are created to cater to business and where representatives are chosen delegates of major local industries.

This the trajectory of American development that will not be curbed until there is a major redistribution of wealth from the rich to the poor, workplaces are democratized through unions and socialism, and the American public consciousness of government shifts to understand that pro-business measures are against their well being.
