What about Detroit? KC? Milwaukee, St. Louis and Denver? New Orleans, did they need a representative? Marcello was a power, Trafficante need one? I didn't say this before in my original email but I don't put a lot of weight in to the issue. It was probably more of a protective action against police than anything else. I don't believe these families in other cities were subordinate to the representatives in their heyday. Maybe later when they were smaller and weaker families but not during the glory times.IMO
