But it's interesting right? Like what does this tell you?
It's like when the reporters and politicians say we need a casino downtown to fix the pensions,(lol, pensions, Chicago,) but they are worried about " organized crime influence".
Like, who the hell are they talking about, Russians? The gd's?
And without major clout in a union, what leverage would the mob have, violence? Please, it's 2015
I brought this up before, look at the suburb casinos, all the bars in the loop,and on rush and whatnot. Construction, they want to put in a garbage fee now, gambling, there just seems to be too much business for someone not to be involved....
The Outfit has certainly attempted to get involved but it appears a good job has been done of keeping them out. Such as DiFronzo or the Boscarinos not allowed to do business with the Emerald casino or the Bastones not allowed to do business with the Grand Victoria riverboat casino. Other efforts to get involved in legal casino gambling, like the Lac du Flambeau tribal boat casino or the Kenosha casino deal with the Menominee tribe, seem to have fizzled out.
