An article in the Independent confirms quite a bit of what is said:
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/can-private-cities-save-a-nation-with-worlds-worst-murder-rate-8113966.html
The government this week signed an agreement with US developers MKG group to
begin building the cities – complete with their own governments, laws, courts,
police forces and tax systems – from scratch early next year.
Cheers, ken

Subject: [lbo-talk] For those following Honduras: "Charter Cities"?
This is exaggerated, right? Please?
"The Charter Cities initiative cedes city-sized sections of Honduras
to corporations or foreign governments to govern autonomously,
indefinitely. Investors can make their own laws, build their own
police force, administer services and regulate their economy.
"On September 4, Michael Strong, representing the MKG Group, signed a
memorandum of understanding in the Honduran Congress to establish the
world’s first Charter City, a contract is surrounded by confusion and
secrecy. Strong provided no information about the MKG Group, which
has no web site or any other readily available public information."
