ROMULUS Mich. - A mayor has defended himself after being investigated for using campaign funds to pay for some of his daughter s wedding, saying it doubled as a campaign event.
Romulus Mayor LeRoy Burcroff said he used $4,500 from campaign funds to cover the tab for an open bar, according to news outlet WXYZ.
Daniel Whelihan, Burcroff s attorney, defended that the wedding was related to the campaign and said most attendees also worked for Burcroff.
