Apparently State Senator Tom Reynolds isn't happy with just attracting attention to himself with his goofy antics.  Now he's sending his flacks out to threaten lawsuits against those who dare to question why he's using campaign cash to pay for utility bills.

Last week, Reynolds had a law firm send a threatening letter to blogger Gretchen Schuldt of the blog Milwaukee Rising.  Schuldt's alledged crime?  Daring to question why the quirky Reynolds would be paying his utility bills with cash collected in his campaign.

If that wasn't enough attention drawn to his own heavy handed approach to politics, Reynolds political hit man, Bob Dohnal is now threatening Watchdog Milwaukee.  But like Schuldt, we won't be intimidated.

Reynolds still hasn't answered the questions he needs to answer and neither have his flacks.

If Reynolds had simply billed for printing services, writing himself a check would have been much clearer.  Billing for print services as well as utility bills just looks like skimming.  Is Reynolds suggesting that he undercharged for the printing so he needed to cover his print costs with the itemization for the utility bills?  Isn't that just a bit more than odd to itemize those costs out?  And how does Reynolds separate out the time he's spending printing anti-Catholic leaflets for his pal, Pastor Ralph Ovadahl who called Pope John Paul II a "minister of Satan"?  (Incidentally, Reynolds says he only prints for groups/people he agrees with so we can safely assume Reynolds believes the late Pope was a "minister of Satan".)
