Ebenger and McCabe: East Chicago Politics: A Cornucopia of Corruption East Chicago Politics: A Cornucopia of Corruption* TINA EBENGER Calumet College of St. Joseph TRACEY MCCABE Calumet College of St. Joseph ABSTRACT Despite the comical title, there is a lot of corruption in East Chicago (IN) politics. One mayoral election had to have a “do-over” because of fraudulent absentee ballots, and a former mayor is doing time in jail for using public monies to remodel his home. This cornucopia of corruption extended to the indictment of six public officials (the so-called Sidewalk Six) in East Chicago for misusing public funds for political gain, specifically vote-buying, in the 1999 mayoral reelection of Robert Pastrick. -
