		<description>Reynolds used campaign money to pay for his home&#039;s utility bills.  Dohnal says this is a lie even though it is in Reynold&#039;s campaign reports filed with the state elections board and threatens legal action.

Dohnal has published on a bunch of blogs a false claim about Sullivan that he knew was false 5 years before and is clearly a case of mistaken identity.  Knowingly disseminating false information with the express purpose of influencing an election is a civil forfeiture.

Priceless!</description>

		<description>And Donahl, if the utility bills are for the print shop, as you say, how can that be legal? 

Campaign finance reports do not work like tax reports for a business owner. If you have a home business, you can claim a portion of your energy and phone bills as a legit business expense. At-home energy costs as a campaign expense is a no-no.

Obviously, you guys are using the Reynolds print shop to run lit for the campaign, but why would you claim an energy cost as an itemized  campaign expense?  Energy is a legit business overhead and would naturally be included in what the print shop bills the campaign, the same way Reynolds bills other clients. It is just part of the cost of printing.  If in fact you meant to itemize the energy cost of printing, why would you even do so?  And why offer it as an explanation or excuse, when it is a campaign finance violation all the same?

I can\&#039;t decide whether you guys are crooked or stupid.

By the way, is the Reynolds campaign now paying J.J. Blonien for the campaign work he does for Reynolds? Or are state taxpayers still paying that? 

If taxpayeres are still paying for Blonien, Reynolds is a crook.</description>

		<description>We go with Gretchen Schuldt on this one. Gretchen -- a longtime Journal Sentinel reporter who was a contributor to WatchdogMilwaukee before starting her own blog, Milwaukee Rising -- broke the Reynolds utility bill scam a couple of weeks ago. This past Sunday, she answered objections from Reynolds associate Bob Donahl on her blogsite:

-- Reynolds camp can\&#039;t get its story straight on utility charges --

		<description>Pass on lies about the utility bills and we&#039;ll include you in the lawsuit.  Refer to Kasten vs Garvey and Goldwater suits.  Get an attorney.</description>

		<description>Do we think the photo was arranged by All Children Matter? 

Or is it similar to photos that Reynolds is using in his own literature, used to make it look like any other piece of Reynolds literature?</description>
