What is so "half assed" about Rudy's scheme exactly? Bid rigging is major money. Not sure why you keep saying that...the bid Rudy was pinched on was a six figure bid and if you think that was the first and only bid he had rigged there, you are nuts. These guys pull in millions with bid rigging...the Daddono family controls all of the contracts for the trade show kiosks in Rosemont and McCormick Place and Billy D still kicks up to DiFronzo.
Because compared to doing what they used to do, like raising the price of dry cleaning or milk for the entire city via the unions, or controlling the music industry via jukeboxes, or Hollywood through the projectors and ushers unions, it is extremely small potatoes.
