There have always been dirty politicians. Recently here in the 5th Senate district Kelly Kultala was threatening businesses if they displayed her opponents campaign signs. I certainly hope the same ethics commission investigating the BPU scandal pick up this scandal. Dirty politics is really bad, illegal activities have no place and should be investigated promptly and impartially.
Kultalah inquired recently about a highway from Lawrence to Leavenworth and KCI. I don't think we need one and who's farm is she going to take this time. We all remember when she and her thugs from the UG took farms away from private citizens to give to private corporations. Her extreme far left position is to have the people submit to government instead of the government serving the people.
Fitzgerald consistently takes a humble approach. "If you hire me" says a lot. Instead of Kultalah who views it as another appointed position to lord over the people. Say no to extremism, to socialism, to Johnson County elitism. Fitzgerald is working with unions in the district, Kultalah is dispised by many local unions.
Kultalah clearly admits to making the phone call. The phone call is recorded, the reporter quoted Kultallah, who admits to making the call and saying:
“…We’ve spent a lot of money at your business and we will not be coming there any longer as long as you still support…”
She is running for a state office, she has held a unified government position, and she is currently in an appointed position in the County government and she doesn't think this is wrong?
Quoted by the reporter Kultala said, “At no time have I ever made threatening remarks to Mr. Jones, or any other business owner. Any such accusation is completely fabricated.”
Really? What is threatening not do business anymore if the sign isn't removed? That is a threat, and from an appointed government official running for office!! She is lying about this, she admitted to the call, it is recorded and the reporter has quoted the recording. She didn't say “I” she said “we” which implies the local government in my opinion.
The Governors hand picked sock puppet just screwed this up. It is like shooting fish in a barrel. Come on Jesse Truesdale, you need to get to the bottom of this. She admitted it, a good reporter would do a little research, find out what laws she may have broken and get in touch with the ethics committee.
Sounds like she is playing dirty politics, intimidation is the exact word I'd choose. There used to be a day when reporters sniffed out a story like this and would run with it. I guess they do that only 50% of the time now and only if the party republican is marked on the checklist?.
I look at this and several red lights and sirens go off.
She probably committed a crime. She has a problem with ethics. She doesn't tell the truth. She exercised extremely poor judgement. She doesn't care what at least half of her constituents embrace. She is anti military. She is a Johnson County Lobbyist for liberal elitists. She wants to raise taxes
She clearly threatened the mans livelyhood.
Gilstrap is a very good man. Fitzgerald is a very good man. Kultala is a person who must be questioned, by us the voters and by the ethics committee and possibly the police.
I disagree with the above post. Kultallah is not nice. We in Organized Labor couldn't stand her. She is not liked by the employees of the Unified Governmrnt.
Other than that you're spot on. Kultallah is bad news for the 5th District. Voting for her would be a completely wasted vote.
Don't expect much from this initiative. Gov. Sebilius will scare them off if a plant is ever contemplated. Sebilius, Kultallah, Gilstrap, and Boyda will probably oppose it.
Kathy Kultala does not represent the views of the 5th District. Senator Mark Gilstrap represents them often. Steve Fitzgerald (R) candidate is our best choice. Fitzgerald is Pro-Kansas, Pro-Wyandotte, and Pro-Leavenworth.
Kultala is pro-sebilius, pro-tiller, and pro-taxes. She is endorsed by the National Education Association (NEA) and has a liberal agenda to destroy Kansas values. The NEA strongly endorses gay marriage. The voters of Kansas passed a constitutional amendment 70% to 30% to protect the traditional institution of marriage. She wants to reverse the will of the people. Does this sound like a candidate that will vote for Wyandotte and Leavenworths interests? She will not!
Over 70% of Kansans supported the Holcombe energy plant, Senator Gilstrap voted for it. Will Kultala vote for what her liberal elitist boss (Sebilius) wants? Of course she will. She is one and the same, a liberal elitist. She was a political lobbyist for Johnson County Liberals, she has one agenda, to further the liberal agenda in Kansas.
As a Wyandotte County Commissioner she was antagonistic with labor. Labor didn't like her. I have never understood how the democrats get away with stomping on labor unions and the unions stay loyal? I've heard Fitzgerald speak about unions and labor and you'd think that the unions would be breaking down his door to support him.
The 5th District has a large veteran population, Kultala has no experience with Veteran issues. Fitzgerald is a retired Army Officer. Hmmm. There is no way Kultala can adequately represent the 5th District Kansans.
Gilstrap will do better without their endorsement. For me it proves that Cultallah is another liberal elitist. She's an elitist from Piper that worked in Johnson County as a lobbyist for other liberal elitists. We saw what that got us, more taxes and more spending. She wasn't popular with the unions in Wyandotte County when she was a commissioner because she spent funds on frivilous things. The Republican candidate (Fitzgerald) is pro labor. I wonder why labor is loyal to democrats but democrats treat them like dirt. Mark didn't get the endorsements because he voted the way he always votes, pro-life. Hensley knew that in 2004, I guess Tiller just won't tolerate a pro-life democrat.
The Republican candidate is pro-family. Something 70% of Kansans are for. Sebilius is against family as is Kelly Cultallah as revealed in the gay marriage vote a couple of years ago. Sebilius and Kelly Cultallah want Kansas to by San Francisco. Fancy wine and snobbish parties.
Liberal elitist Kelly Kultala. Ties to Johnson county liberal elitists and she was a political lobbiest. She has Sebilius clone written all over her. She is endorsed by the Governor that has tried to destroy tradition rich Kansas. The governor that denied over 20,000 private sector jobs by imposing a liberal environmental whacko policy.
Gilstrap has voted lockstep with the governor 93% of the time and even that isn't good enough for the power hungry Sebilius. Gilstrap, the man that brought Casino ownership to the state. We're the first state in the union to own its own casino's.
Not only was taxing us not enough, now they want to take more in the form of gambling.
Kansas needs to get back to its roots. Sound, conservative values.
Didn't Jim Carey make a movie with Jeff Daniels about these two? Just kidding.
Gilstrap is a bad choice, Cult allah is worse. Who is kidding who? The gov's clone is a Piper estates elitist with Lobbiest ties to the Johnson county liberal elitists.
Politics hasn’t changed much
There have always been dirty politicians. Recently here in the 5th Senate district Kelly Kultala was threatening businesses if they displayed her opponents campaign signs. I certainly hope the same ethics commission investigating the BPU scandal pick up this scandal. Dirty politics is really bad, illegal activities have no place and should be investigated promptly and impartially.

Kultala beats Gilstrap
I disagree with the above post. Kultallah is not nice. We in Organized Labor couldn't stand her. She is not liked by the employees of the Unified Governmrnt.

Primafuel sets sights on more biofuel infrastructure
Don't expect much from this initiative. Gov. Sebilius will scare them off if a plant is ever contemplated. Sebilius, Kultallah, Gilstrap, and Boyda will probably oppose it.

Senate hopefuls to square off at forum
Liberal elitist Kelly Kultala. Ties to Johnson county liberal elitists and she was a political lobbiest.
She has Sebilius clone written all over her. She is endorsed by the Governor that has tried to destroy tradition rich Kansas. The governor that denied over 20,000 private sector jobs by imposing a liberal environmental whacko policy.
Gilstrap has voted lockstep with the governor 93% of the time and even that isn't good enough for the power hungry Sebilius. Gilstrap, the man that brought Casino ownership to the state. We're the first state in the union to own its own casino's.

Didn't Jim Carey make a movie with Jeff Daniels about these two? Just kidding.
Gilstrap is a bad choice,
