Iowans 'frustrated' with subsidizing Apple, which lobbied against women's sports bill, journalist says

Apple lobbied against an Iowa law that limits requires participants in high school women's sports to prove that they are biological women. A journalist told Fox News Digital that this campaign frustrates Iowans, who have effectively subsidized Apple.

"Iowans across the state are frustrated with the fact that they are subsidizing such a huge industry, such a huge company that advocates against their beliefs," Jacob Hall, editor of the Iowa Standard, told FOX Business. "When you're bringing a company that's going to advocate against the interests of the state's residents, and then you're incentivizing them to come here to begin with, I think that's where the rub is for a lot of Iowans."

Gov. Kim Reynolds, a Republican, signed the bill into law earlier this month after it passed the state Senate 31 to 17 and the House 55 to 39.
