Michigan mayor defends using campaign money to pay for part of daughter's wedding
A Michigan mayor is defending his use of $4,500 in campaign funds to help pay for his daughter's wedding, arguing that the celebration doubled as a campaign event.
According to local ABC News affiliate WXYZ, Romulus Mayor LeRoy Burcroff said through his lawyer that the money was allocated from his campaign fund to pay for the open bar at his daughter's wedding, which was held at a local yacht club.
His attorney, Daniel Wholihan, told the local news outlet that the event was also campaign-related because many members of Burcroff's campaign team were in attendance.
