I think in order to rebuild, political and law enforcement contacts need to be met...otherwise, you have no clout. In Cleveland for example, Joe Iacabacci does not garner the respect that some of the previous guys had, nor does he have influence with judges, prosecutors, commissioners etc. ALL mafia families needed corrupt public figures and cops in order to survive. No corrupt cops = no widespread illegal gambling. Prosecutors and judges are needed to keep the cops close to the vest. Not saying Iacabacci can't find a few corrupt cops, but the judges and prosecutors are much harder to come by at this day in age.
