Fred Hubbell Statement on Incentive Package for Apple Data Center

By Paul Esker

DES MOINES, IA – Fred Hubbell provided the following statement on the incentive package for the proposed Apple data center:

"Iowa has a serious budget mess - a mess created by politicians that have a habit of prioritizing wasteful corporate giveaways over healthcare, education, and raising incomes around the state.

"When I led the Iowa Department of Economic Development, my top priority was to hold corporations' feet to the fire and make sure Iowa's taxpayers got a good deal, but in this case it appears that taxpayers are paying $400,000 per job. Take it from me: this is a better deal for Apple than it is for Iowa's taxpayers. Iowa's taxpayers deserve better than this from their Governor."
