This is fairly typical of third-world countries. Your business only lasts as long as your patron survives politically. The mayor complains that the city-state of Prospera buys power from the local power company. Of course they do. That's the point usually of SEZs: that they bring local industry and they pay for local services. He complains that the revenue from the apartment tower would have paid for a lot if they paid normal fees and were subject to normal permitting but if they were they wouldn't have built there.
These are all fairly typical to any place and mostly intended outcomes. The SEZ approach is usually a mechanism to promote industry in a place that usually won't see it. But local governments are corrupt. About the one reason you can be sure that Prospera isn't malevolent is that they didn't spend some fraction of those billions of dollars in rigging the election so that their guy would continue to be in power.
