@Rush dont quarrel with faces who only use google...ignore them...

Thank you Toodoped for sharing that!

We are in complete accord, Rush.

Back when the Democratic Party ran the country, there were not many Republicans among the Italians.

All the guys from the neighborhood I know all now vote Republican lol.

They still all have city jobs also.

One guy actually ran for Alderman as a Republican! Lol

Its hard to find city elections with anyone running as a Republican so they end up voting for the more moderate candidates.

Rush, as Hollander had mentioned in another post, Chicago had Roti (as you mentioned,) as well as Roland Libonati and many others who fall into this category nicely.

There were tons of guys connected to the Outfit who fit this profile; corrupt politicians, labor union officials, businessmen etc. The Roti family had Bruno Roti, Fred (Peanuts) Roti, and Jimmy Roti, among them.

Some others include Alderman John D'Arco, Michael Brodkin, John Delasandro, labor union bigwigs Edward T. (Ed) Hanley and Samuel Cozzo, the shadowy lawyer Sidney (Sid) Korshak, etc., etc., etc.

But this is just scratching the surface of all the fellas connected to the Outfit who fit the bill. Chicago certainly had no shortage of these types of guys. lol.

I actually researched and created a very unique "hierarchy leadership chart" for the Chicago Outfit that we display on our website. Its massive. I also made it a point to clearly delineate and mark those members and associates who specialized as "frontmen" for the Outfit, as labor officials, "so-called" politicians, and ostensibly "legitimate" businessmen. But who were actually employed by, of under the thumb of, the Outfit leadership.

If I'm not mistaken, you joined us and became a "button guy," am I correct? If so, the next time you visit our site, click into "Charts" and scroll down to the "Chicago Outfit Leadership Chart."

Rush, since I know you enjoy learning about Chicago, you'll have a party, I assure you.

Many people around Meyer Lansky also fit the profile guys like Dino Cellini.
Cellini has record of only two convictions (1941 and 1945) on gambling charges.

The Lansky network was actually quite extraordinary. I always liked what Hank Messick said, the great Miami Herald writer who uncovered many Lansky secrets, when he said 'Meyer Lansky doesn't own property. He owns people.'

Yes, the voting trends have definitely changed over the years.

All the guys from the neighborhood I know all now vote Republican lol.

They still all have city jobs also.

One guy actually ran for Alderman as a Republican! Lol

Its hard to find city elections with anyone running as a Republican so they end up voting for the more moderate Democratic candidate.

I believe that the GOP is now a working class favorite, during the years the Democrats have lost their traditional supporters.

For example, the recent Chicago election. Every guy I know of voted for Paul Vallas over Brandon Johnson.

Yes, to a degree, the demographic has certainly changed (in both parties I suspect)

This was a Mayoral race, is that correct, Rush?

Who ended up winning, Brandon, right?

Sidney Roy Korshak was an American lawyer and 'fixer' for businessmen in the upper power classes and the Chicago Outfit in the United States. His reputation as a Chicago mafia man in Los Angeles made him one of Hollywood's most legendary and influential fixers.

Murray Humphreys (born Llewellyn Morris Humphreys; April 20, 1899[1] – November 23, 1965) (also known as The Camel or The Hump), was a Chicago mobster of Welsh descent who was the chief political fixer and labor racketeer, beginning during the Chicago Outfit during Prohibition. Considered to be a ruthless but also well-dressed, socially refined, and clever man, Humphreys believed in killing only as a last resort. He was known to place far greater trust in the bribability of lawmen, seemingly respectable businessmen, labor union leaders, and public officials. A favorite maxim of Humphreys' was: "The difference between guilt and innocence in any court is who gets to the judge first with the most".[2] But perhaps the statement that best summed up Humphreys' philosophy of life was: "Any time you become weak, you might as well die".[3] Al Capone once said of Humphreys, "Anybody can use a gun, but 'The Hump' uses his head. He can shoot if he has to, but he likes to negotiate with cash when he can. I like that in a man."

TD were Roland Libonati and Frank Annunzio made guys?
I believe they were initiated in Cosa Nostra but who knows lol..
