I don’t have a problem with this. Less to spend on media.
Should have had a cash bar.
The original Romulus did not have this problem. His men just kidnapped women from the Sabines. No wedding ceremony, no reception, no open bar or cash bar to worry about.
Was he a Democrat? If so no big deal.
Those crazy Romulans are at it again.
It is all perfectly legal if he invited donors and fund raised at his daughter’s wedding.
Next he’ll have some poker games at his house with big money donors who are willing to fold a straight flush on the river.
I did not click, but what is the difference in what the Mayor did and what the Clinton’s did when their charity paid for their daughters wedding?
Here’s the whole thing. Your blog is just a cut and paste job.

A Michigan mayor is facing fire after he used campaign money to fund a portion of his daughter’s wedding, according to reports.Mayor LeRoy Burcroff from Romulus, Mich., acknowledged that he used campaign funds to the sum of $4,500 to pay for an open bar at his daughter’s wedding.But Burcroff argued the funds were not inappropriately used because those working at the campaign were at the event, WXYZ reported.”If the wedding of your own daughter could be a campaign event, what sort of event cannot be a campaign function?” Simon D. Schuster, the executive director of the Michigan Campaign Finance Network, told WXYZ.
“That broad latitude that elected officials have to at least attempt to explain away potentially inappropriate financial transactions is striking,” he added.

Wholihan said the fund’s usage was “poor optics” but did not agree they amounted to a legal violation.Burcroff repaid $20,000 to his campaign fund for the expenses.WXYZ first reported a series of questionable payments made by the mayor in December, which included more than $6,000 worth of payments made to his children, brother, and son-in-law for office rent and campaign office maintenance.The news outlet also uncovered $3,800 paid in membership fees to the Belleville Yacht Club, where his daughter’s wedding was held.
According to the city’s website, Burcroff is a Navy veteran and local business owner and father of three children, who “believes that integrity-driven leadership, outstanding customer service, safe neighborhoods, financial stability, and a ‘business friendly’ city administration are important areas for local government to focus on.”

Must be, since the article doesn’t state his party affiliation. Or maybe not, since the article says he won’t be seeking re-election because of this. Acknowledging ledging wrongdoing and accepting the consequences is not typically the hallmark of being a democrat
“I did not click,”
Smart man.
“what is the difference in what the Mayor did and what the Clinton’s did when their charity paid for their daughters wedding?”
Roboposter. He’s not going to answer you. Ever.
"How could he ream us?!" ~ shocked citizens of Romulus
Wonder if they served Romulan Ale?
A fair search on google doesn’t revel his party either.
The city website has all previous election results wiped out.
Bones: well it takes this stuff a while to ferment.

I could not find any affiliation either but will search a little more. His election stats might reveal something if they’re available.
