A previous expose I'd written I titled "Connecticut's Cosa Nostra Chaos" spoke to this very subject.

And although NYC and New Jersey have the reputation as the most 'mobbed up' city (or state), Connecticut was indeed among the most 'Wild West' type atmosphere for Cosa Nostra.

There were so many crews and individual mobsters active in the state that it indeed led to much chaos. Hence the name I picked for the title of the story. Read it some time. I think you guys will enjoy it immensely
