Thanks for your opinion. If you look back going back to the early 1900's, Cleveland was historically a very strong syndicate, starting with the Mayfield Road Mob, the Lonardo's and Porello's. Their strength was unions as Ohio has always had one of the strongest union bases in the country. Tony & Frank Milano along with Moe Dalitz, Sam Tucker and Morris Kleinman planted their flags in Vegas before many. In regards to Cleveland in the 1980's, I agree with you that Licavoli "made a mess" of a one strong syndicate and it crumbled. But historically, they were very strong. And Cleveland had many killers...many families had fuck ups on hits, many families missed opportunities...not just Cleveland. Leo Moceri, Angelo Lonardo, Whitey Besase, John DeMarco and Frank Brancato allegedly ordered many hits. They had hitmen all over the tri state area.
