True enough but, for some reason, he avoided paying. I'm just throwing out possibilities for why that was. Considering how strongly Scarfo enforced the street tax, it's certainly surprising he wasn't killed.


Plain and Simple Power Brokers has replaced the word politicians in Philadelphia...For example..Plus a lot of 2nd and 3rd generation families in Phila are related thru marriage or have business dealings with one another. Scarfo's time as you know he was in Atlantic City most of the time and with his ego I think poker machines were on the bottom of the food chain at that given time considering the other rackets that were viable at the time..
