Feds seek Romulus mayor's campaign records

The FBI and federal prosecutors are investigating the Romulus mayor and his campaign amid questions about spending campaign funds in a past race on personal expenses, including his daughter's wedding.

A federal grand jury subpoena was sent to the Wayne County Clerk Cathy Garrett's Office in July about Mayor LeRoy Burcroff’s campaign finance statements, according to documents The Detroit News obtained Monday through the Freedom of Information Act. The subpoena came after questions were raised earlier this year about the spending of campaign money in 2013 on the wedding of Burcroff's daughter.
