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.
