    Feds asked to expand probe of Coffee Creek land deal By Steve Walsh, Gary Post Tribune
    A citizens watchdog group is asking federal authorities to expand the probe into the Carpenters Union’s $10 million land deal in the wake of Kevin Pastrick’s guilty plea.

    The call from the Citizens Action Coalition comes as the Northwest Indiana Regional Council of Carpenters Pension Fund Trust has admitted publically for the first time that the 55 acres bought from the Lake Erie Land co. is not worth half of what it invested since 1999.
