CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) — Nevada's governor on Friday unveiled a proposal that would allow technology companies to establish jurisdictions with powers similar to those of county governments, arguing the state needed to be bold to diversify its economy and pushing back against those who have likened the idea to company towns.
“This proposal is an exciting, unprecedented concept that has a potential to position Nevada as a global center of advanced technology and innovation, while helping to create immediate positive economic impact and shape the economy of the future,” Gov. Steve Sisolak said of his Innovation Zones idea. “As we’ve learned in the past, an emergency requires us to throw out the tried-and-true, discard the ‘How We’ve Always Done It’ manual and move on.”
Under the proposal, companies developing cutting-edge technologies that have at least 50,000 acres (200 sq. kilometers) of land and promise to invest $1.25 billion could establish “Innovation Zones." The zones would be governed by a board responsible for overseeing zoning, taxation, law enforcement and other government functions on their land. It would override local county regulations.

I don’t see how this can be a Constitutionally valid action.
I can understand if the ‘company’ works under the authority and is held accountable by those we elect.
And/or read Orwell’s 1984.
One is inspired by God. The other is almost 40 years too late. “No one knows the hour nor day when the Son of Man returns, mot even the Son”.
they are building a totalitarian police state with cameras and transponders regulating every move, RFID microchips in everything.
They are even pre-empting rebellion by staging fake attacks on the Capitol by fake "militia groups" created by the FBI
they pre-empt exposing their plans by branding exposing them as "wacko conspiracy theories"
NO ! multiply it by 100,000,000 times and it may be getting closer to how stupid the human race has become
case in point : "COVID19" ....I rest my case
Steve Sisolak (Democratic Party) is the Governor of Nevada. He assumed office in 2019. His current term ends on January 2, 2023.
Yep, I was right!
