Bill went to California with 40 or so Bonanno members and had lived out there for a short time, the other families in the country, mainly Buffalo and Chicago saw that as a power grab. That was just one of the supposed reasons for the animosity guys held for Bonanno.
SinatraClub is right,in Raab's 5 families book said that Bonanno plotted to made his son Bill boss of L.A. and send 40 made men. He wanted to dominate both the coasts.
