Gov. Harold Hughes announces public office hours starting Sept. 4, limiting callers to five minutes per person, aimed at broad access. A University of Iowa team notes Iowa local property taxes in 1960 were lower than in the 1930s, projecting state levy changes if 1980 rates matched the 1920s averages, while population shifts influence local spending. The World War II era saw major spending increases. 1960 property tax share stood at 0.1 percent of personal income, up from 4.3 percent in 1930.
