Interesting to see Matassa is still treasurer of a large union and has had complaints against him as recently as December 2013. Really goes to show you that these guys never stop and stay so far below the radar, the press rarely even notices them.
It's crazy. But I'm not sure if it's just that he's "under the radar." I honestly believe the Feds have a bigger hard-on for the locals in the Northeast than they do for the Midwestern locals. The LIUNA locals here are under almost as much Federally mandated supervision as the Teamsters. And forget about the fucking IBT locals here. It's just a job now.
chicago is crooked and nobody gives a fuck
the locals view chicago corruption "as just another day in chicago"
that's how they stay under the radar, residents don't care so it's easy to stay low
all criminals (races) are intertwined in chicagos political landscape
He's talking about federal interests, not some local bumpkin gossip.
