FORT WORTH (A1 J ) — Voters in
Granbury approved a school tax
rollback which district officials said
would cost them more than $1 mil
lion, while a much smaller number
in Carroll rejected a similar mea
sure.
In Granbury, voters on Saturday
by 2,497 to 2,106 decided to return
school tax levies to last year’s levels,
rolling back a 26 percent increase.
The rollback will result in a $1.4
million loss for the school district,
superintendent Jerry Christian said.
“It will be devastating to us,”
Christian said. “We’ll have to make
dramatic cuts in every aspect.”
He said taxes went up initially be
cause of losses in state aid and infla
tion. Also, a new elementary school
for the fast-growing district south
west of Fort Worth is responsible for
the tax increase. ,
Voters in the Carroll Indepen
dent School District, northeast of
Fort Worth, rejected a rollback 847
to 735.
In Carroll, the rollback effort was
prompted by a 19.7 percent prop
erty tax increase this year and could
have forced the district to cut
$714,000 from next year’s spending.
Rollback elections can be called if
a district raises taxes more than 8
percent above what is known as the
effective tax rate.
“I seriously doubt if you’ll see any
more tax increases over 8 percent,”
said Carroll school board President
Robert Powell. “I would never vote
for another one except in a dire
emergency. It’s not worth putting
the school at risk.”
The Carroll school board opened
itself to a rollback when taxes were
raised from 72 cents to 87 cents per
$100 assess valuation.
School officials say they needed
the increase to cover decreased state
aid and additional costs caused by a
growing enrollment.
A rollback proponent in Gran
bury, Loren Wilson, said the margin
in that vote was narrower than he
anticipated because of heavy spend
ing by opponents of the rollback.
“Plus, they had more available
manpower,” Wilson said. “There are
very few people who’ll stand publicly
for the rollback because they would
appear to be against education.”
He said the rollback effort began
to protest bur^atic;.ats giving ; thenir
selves increases while,everyone else
is suffering decreases in salajiips.
Don Weeks, who organized a
committee that led the rollback drive
in Carroll, said, “I’m a little disap
pointed, but the dollar-for-dollar we
put into it, we gave them a good
run.”
Weeks said his group spent be
tween $500 and $600 campaigning
on the theme of “runaway taxes.”

Judgeship race turns into family feud iC
EL PASO (AP) — The race for the
judgeship of the 41st District Court
has developed into a family feud,
with the children of Judge John Mc-
Kellips supporting his opponent in
the March 8 primary.
On Saturday, the six children of
John and Lillian McKellips said the
judge’s professional behavior, to
gether with “his overall coercion of
his family” influenced their decision.
“As a family, we have jointly de
cided to support Mary Anne Bramb-
lett in the upcoming election for 41st
District Court judge,” they said in a
prepared statement.
McKellips replied, “It makes me
very sad that my opponent and my
ex-wife got my family involved in the
campaign. To me, it’s the lowest
form of politics.”
Bramblett, an assistant El Paso
County attorney, did not embrace
what she termed an unsolicited en
dorsement.
“I do not want to get involved in a
fight between that family. I feel I’m
a pawn being used by these people,”
Bramblett said.
The children’s action is the latest
in a long family feud over property
settlement and support for the three
youngest children, who are in their
early 20s and have varying levels of
, DA]
physical and mental disability.
The oldest child, Kathy McKclp the vis
Poster, said her father’s ii ”

John McKellips said his ex-wifeiRld W(
negative influence on the chiMf 0ur
caused the rift in the family. He aw three
blamed his opponent in the priinai'B re> t
“I’m horrified by this uesperij anc [’ 0I
