With Ligambi's people in jail, I believe Merlino does. There was never tention between those two anyway and with Merlino being boss prior and Mazzone back on the street I believe he and his guys do have final say. The only "evidence" really that would lead some to believe he does is the tape with Mazzone talking loudly with Phil Ligambi. But that really doesn't prove anything. I just think its the natural course for these guys.
