Yes. Chicago has always had a relationship with the powerful Genovese Family in New York regarding Union activity. In fact one of the made men who was the personal underboss to Joey Lombardo in the Grand Ave. Crew years ago was a guy named 'Mooch' Eboli. He was related to Tommy Eboli from the Genovese Group. I BELIEVE THE RELATIONSHIP STILL EXISTS TODAY. Also, The Genovese Family would occasionally reach out to Chicago about Las Vegas. Chicago had problems and disliked the Bonanno Family yers ago. The Genovese people liked Chicago better than the Bonnano's. Years ago, the 3 best organized and most powerful mafisa groups in the Country were The Genovese Family, Gambino Family & The Chicago Outfit, in my humble opinion based upon dialogue in Chicago.
