Was just curious if anybody had any information old or new on this chapter.

Can't seem to find anything in particular on that chapter other than it's still mentioned on their website.

Outlaws MC seem to have two major powerbases. First is the long standing stronghold in Florida of which activities are usually directed from Tampa and which in turn has influence over all other chapters in the South. Second is the traditional Illinois-Indiana-Michigan stronghold of which the main board of directors seems to switch between Chicago, Indianapolis or Detroit and which holds influence over all Midwest and border chapters. These days it seems like most of the decision making for the Midwest chapters is largely situated in Chicago so McLean County falls under their sphere of influence.

Milwaukee has been in that midwest power structure over the years. Pretty sure they're one of the original three AOA chapters. Lots of chapters in Wisconsin and I think they were some ringleaders in the bombings, etc against HA in the 90s. National pres was Milwaukee Jack not that long ago.

In Bloomington Illinois. The city shutdown the Line in the early 1950s which is the redlight district. The club was small and by the early 1960s they brought it back, there was still prostitution before that. They were able to establish a bordello in the early 1960 through an associate of theirs. Late 1960s exploded with the hippy movement and some clubs popped up. They had some protection from the city council and cops, but not really strong. Narcotics have been big with that chapter since the mid 1970s and the 1980s it was Hugh. It was mostly a beer drinking clubs, with prostitution, some gun running, auto part stores and garages. A few of its members went to Florida with the national officials of the club to open up a branch in florida, and to patch over a small group they liked, who were recommend by the gypsy Outlaws who wanted to join there club before the 1964 mergings formed the outlaw nation. New recruits were changing the scene and there was a powers struggle between the beer drinkers and pot smokers in the clubs in the 1970s.McLean majority supported John Davis as president, while the Vietnam vets and pot smokers went against Davis. After Davis was killed, the chapter started to get into narcotics majorly, however it appeared as more of a neutral chapter to the politics of the mothership and Detroit. Interesting there have been rumors of a couple of plots to kill Harry Taco, one for betraying the brotherhood to gain possessions that belonged to another brother, and in the late 1990s when he picked someone as president of a different chapter who should have never been brought as a member. They did not like James Wheeler relocating HQ to Florida, and had great relations with Jack Rosga. They are still active and make trips around the country.
