Governor broke campaign law, judge rules
By Barry Witt

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger broke state law last year when he used a loophole to loan his campaign committee $4 million, a move that prevented voters
from knowing before Election Day who would end up paying the governor's campaign bills, a judge ruled late Monday.
Schwarzenegger will probably face no fines as a result of the ruling, but he will be blocked from paying himself back with the more than $3.4 million
he has raised since his election and will have to convert the loans into a personal contribution to his campaign.
The millionaire former movie star contributed an additional $4.85 million in cash to his campaign before the Oct. 7 recall election.
Sacramento County Superior Court Judge Loren E. McMaster said Schwarzenegger's use of a loophole to avoid a $100,000 cap that voters imposed in 2000
on candidate loans ``flies in the face of the express purpose of the law.'' He said Schwarzenegger's approach would allow rich candidates to
``evade both the $100,000 loan limitation and the requirement of pre-election disclosure of contributions, while those limitations would apply to
candidates of more modest means.''
