Use campaign contributions for the Christmas bonus?

I was not aware that this is legal, but apparently it is. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger paid two of his most trusted aids a total of $33,000 from re-election campaign money. These were just bonuses for two already well-paid good performers. If I had donated to his campaign, I would not be too pleased about this. What about you? Does left over campaign money become available for whatever the Gov. wants?
