IOWA CITY, Iowa — A top aide to Gov. Kim Reynolds has been hired by Apple months after promoting a $208 million incentive package for the company’s planned Iowa data centre as a good deal for taxpayers.<\/p>\n
Tim Albrecht departed as Reynolds’ deputy chief of staff, to become a manager of strategic initiatives for Apple in March.<\/p>\n
The governor’s office says Albrecht’s position is “unrelated” to the $1.3 billion complex Apple is building outside Des Moines, a deal the administration negotiated and defended when Albrecht was Reynolds’ adviser.<\/p>\n
Albrecht was involved in planning the Aug. 24 press conference near Des Moines, where Reynolds and Apple CEO Tim Cook announced the project.<\/p>\n
Reynolds’ press secretary Brenna Smith said Albrecht is working in Apple’s education department. Albrecht and Apple declined comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
