Year of political upheaval and local shifts in 1962
The year featured major contests with Mayor Roger Svejkovsky ousting C. R. Hansen and incumbents losing seats in September and November. The governor’s race recount loomed as a key unresolved story. Schools faced bond rejections and expansions, while city and county projects from libraries to armories advanced. Hairline shifts in crime, public works, and business rounded out a year of rapid change.
