Bielat took $10,000 salary from campaign in loss to Frank

The Boston Globe:
"Sean Bielat, whose spirited challenge to US Representative Barney Frank last year drew national attention, paid himself $10,000 in salary drawn from his campaign account, but waited to disclose the move until after the November election.

While not prohibited on the federal level, personal salary payments are rare. It appears Bielat is the first Massachusetts candidate to take advantage of a change in federal law that allows him to do so."
