This foundation gives to a "pre-selected" group of charities and a very low number "26" grants ranging from very low $200 and the dollar value
of the grant goes up based on very possibly
how much "publicity" the Lobeck-Taylor foundation can get. Also, it's a tax write-off.
Yes, the Tulsa World puts Kathy Taylor in the Tulsa World every chance they can when other people doing the same volunteer or charity work get left out constantly from the Tulsa World news and scene news. Tulsa World has their favorites and it is obvious.

You won't find "k" kathy putting too many hours
on this foundation paperwork. But then again,
she may be counting the parties and
publicity for magazines, newspapers, and any other form of p.r.

When you have the assets of this particular area,
10% giving is not that big of deal and I am sure
they have an accountant that uses every loophole
to get the biggest deduction as possible for the Lobecks.

I wonder if her husband took advantage on those tax-credits of Oklahoma from his business since
Kathy worked and had a position at the State
Capitol -- has anyone
investigated how much Oklahoma state tax credits
the Lobeck businesses registered in Oklahoma, the Taylor/Lobecks, the foundation of the Taylor/Lobecks, and any other name or business they own that is registered under Oklahoma state tax credits and please list the year(s) and how much.

Why should any of us care what name she uses?

She should pick one and stick with it, for consistency's sake.

I can't believe you attack someone for giving away money.

This is not in anyway illegal or in any way wrong.

This is very lame of you to try to somehow spin her giving of thousands of dollars a year into something bad.

You are the bad one this time.

Michael Patton (recyclemichael), where did I attack anyone for giving away money? I just found it interesting that here, at least, she's using a different name than she is using on the ballot. That was the point of this entry. It's interesting, too, that Taylor partisans have carped about people referring to her as Kathy Lobeck-Taylor, yet here she uses both names, albeit in a different order and sans hyphen.

I remember when a singer named Johnny Cougar became John Mellencamp then became John Cougar Mellancamp.

How dare he! Let's write a negative story right before his next album comes out...we must not like his music because he has changed his name!

Oh, look, that woman on television used to have a different last name and now she is wearing a ring and trying to act like someone else.

Don't watch that news show, she must be lying or trying to hide something!

Lame.

Actually, I can recall a fair amount of ridicule being directed at John Cougar Mellencamp over his name changes. Ditto for Prince aka The Artist Formerly Known as Prince. And likewise for Sean "Puffy" Combs, aka Puff Daddy, aka P. Diddy. Each name change was a kind of self-reinvention for marketing purposes.

It's customary for a woman to take her husband's last name when she gets married. It's also fairly common now for a woman to keep her maiden name when she gets married. I've known a few cases where a woman kept her maiden name at first, then took her husband's name when the first child comes along. But generally, whatever choice she makes, the usual thing is to stick with that choice, not to oscillate back and forth.

We do love to bash those with money. Some things never change around here...and Bill Lafortune had a really tough life thus far as well.

Bash those with money? Where do you see that? For that matter, where is anyone being bashed?

Y'all are awfully thin-skinned over a simple observation.

I have noticed that she also contributes to campaigns with different names as well. I really have never seen anyone go back and forth so much with the style of their name.

Here's some good advice that I have followed for over a year with regard to the TulsaNow Forum: Leave them alone. They will destroy themselves. They have creeped onto your website, and are ruining it. There are about 15-20 of these people that generate all the nasty polluted traffic. 98% all of it is garbage.

Everyone knows Kathy Taylor is a bulldozer who will stop at nothing until all of the dissent is silenced. That's what she's been hired to do. There is too much money and favors behind her.
