The only obvious one to disagree seemed to be Gigante.

1985 Bosses:
Gigante: Voted NO.....Also wonder if Benny Squint had any input

Rastelli (aka Massino's voice): Probably said yes because he was BFF with John in 1985

Persico: I have no clue.... I do know that he was the ONLY one to vote NO for the Galante hit though.

Corallo: I have no clue BUT, have read that Casso apparently supported the hit and only denied it later on when asked......Someone also recently posted about Persico's close affiliation with Casso AND how they and their wives would go upstate together.

Scarfo: It appears that Gotti left Nick out of this decision

Accardo: I have no clue

Has anyone heard any concrete stuff on this topic?


Gotti's co-conspirators spoke to Casso and Amuso, as well as Genny Lang from the Colombos (who was tight with Angelo Ruggiero). The Genovese weren't consulted at all; the Bonnanos had no vote on the Commission until the Gotti period, but Big Joey may have known beforehand.
