Have anyone find out why Cleveland and Pittsburgh had to get the ok from New York.
Just my 2 cents. If a family needs another family's approval to make new members, then they are also paying tribute to that family. If they are paying tribute to that family, then they are an arm of that family's drug conspiracy in a different city or locale.
To answer your original question Furio, a particular satellite family is going to need the OK of whatever parent family they belong to, to make new members. It all depends on who you are running dope for.
