Well during Family Secrets in 2007 it came out that a current State Rep (Jimmy DeLeo) was in business deals with Michael Spilotro and other mobsters. He left office with honors in 2010
But was Michael Spilotro as crazy as La Pietra? I thought only Sam De Stefano is his equal in temrs of sadism. I mean, somebody can do business with mobsters, but to publicly praise one who isn't just a criminal, but more a sort of medieval torturer, that's a thing that really stands out even among mafia politicians.
