The Plain Dealer: Former county employees J. Kevin Kelley and Kevin Payne pleaded guilty Wednesday to several corruption-related crimes and agreed to cooperate with federal prosecutors as they pursue other people in the probe of contract steering in Cuyahoga County. Kelley will serve a minimum sentence of about six years in federal prison while Payne faces at least seven years behind bars.
