A Michigan mayor is facing scrutiny after he admitted to using campaign funds to pay for a portion of his daughter’s wedding, a local report revealed. Mayor LeRoy Burcroff from Romulus, Mich., a city located just outside of Detroit, acknowledged that he used $4,500 in campaign funds to pay for an open bar at his daughter’s wedding. Wholihan also outlined another nearly $15,000 of campaign funds that were used to intermittently donate to Burcroff’s church. The letter followed an investigation launched this year by Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson. Burcroff’s attorney contended that the Michigan secretary of state may not agree with the justification of using campaign funds instead of his own personal means in these instances.
