The Lucchese family represented L.A. on the Commission until Jack Dragna died. After that Bonanno temporary represented them, then it was the Gambino and finally Detroit before Chicago represented everything west of the Mississippi.

You have guys from Chicago, Lucchese, Gambino, and Detroit on that list.


You are correct Giacomo. The representative on the Commission started out as Tommy Brown. As after Dragna's death and Tommy's death, it morphed to other crews. Eventually, Chicago handled most everything west of the Windy City.
