Knight under fire as Wittig criticism sours governor bid
TOPEKA AP Wichita Mayor Bob Knight fights Westar Energy over four years as he pursues the Republican nomination for governor. He faces two opponents after targeting Westar and chairman David Wittig. Senate President Kerr accuses Knight of diverting attention from pro rate- hike policies, while Treasurer Shallenburger calls the attack a cheap shot amid concerns Westar could relocate headquarters. Knight argues voters should fear a governor soft on Westar.
