I think Frank Milano had alot of influence and pull in LA after he moved to
Mexico from the harsh Cleveland winters.
He was one of the original Commission members.
In the eyes of the Commssion he probally had more credibility than Dragna.
Dragna was the boss but Im sure the Milano Brothers had their hands
In the LA family cookie jar
I think Dragna was respected after all he WAS a boss, and very close to Lucchese and La Salle too. But I agree in that for at least the years they ruled Cleveland, the Milano brothers, Ciccio especially, was a more pivotal figure to the overall Mafia. Sat on the Commission as a founding member, was head of a key city not far from NYC and integrated with many other crews in nearby states. etc.
