[edit] California?

It appears, based on what links here that this is a concept connected to the State of California. Can anyone verify that? All the authors seem to be anonymous. Brian Sayrs 20:28, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

No, not only California. The concept is the same as the Philippines' chartered cities. Charter city is not quite the same as incorporated town. The term should not be merged. Jordz 08:09, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

--- No, I don't think it's the same as an incorporated town. A charter city appoints a city manager to run things day to day, and the mayor and council really become political figureheads. in a general law city, there is no city manager, and the council runs day to day business. Charter cities have a lot more leeway - they can basically set the charter themselves as they go along, rather than having to follow state law.
