Fulop, who's widely seen as positioning himself to run for governor, has been spending a lot of money on social media, The Auditor noticed.

Since being elected mayor in the spring of 2013, Fulop's campaign account has paid more than $35,000 to Facebook and over $10,000 to Twitter.

And the mayor is honing his communication skills as well, paying $10,000 for "communications training" to Sheehan Associates, a Washington-based firm that that helps train people in public speaking, among other things. The firm's motto is "When you're serious."
