    Kevin Pastrick pleads guilty BY BILL DOLAN, Munster Times, IN
    East Chicago Mayor Robert Pastrick's son, Kevin, pleaded guilty Friday to bribery and promised to cooperate with wide-ranging investigations that include his family's political legacy.

    The 37-year-old man whose business profited from his breeding, worked U.S. District Court Magistrate Andrew Rodovich's courtroom with aplomb, greeting court personnel with smiles and paying his compliments to government investigators he knew.

    Kevin Pastrick then admitted in open court he was guilty of paying a kickback in a conspiracy to invest $10 million of carpenter's union pension money in Coffee Creek, a Porter County land deal that earned him $600,000 in commissions.
