If this in fact Ron Fino responding he acknowledges that he is skeptical of the 210 cleanup yet gives Sam Capitano credit for the effort but isnt 100% sold on him and he also states that the leaders have simply hunkered down, became more clandestine and attempt to look more respectful. This was only 6 years ago.
Ron Fino flipped in 1989. After that he really has no inside knowledge on the union. Not saying that throws away his credibility, but just bear that in mind when reading his information.
In this article, FEDERAL INVESTIGATORS say that the effort to clean up the union is not working.
Soooo, if we are to go by published law enforcement statements and use it as HARD evidence, they agree that it wasnt possible to clean up the union with the method being applied.
I don't disagree with that. But that article is from 1996. There were ten more years of hard-hitting union cleanup before federal investigators declared it clean. They have since stood by that claim. So what's your point? That the unions weren't entirely clean by 1996? We all knew that. That's why there was another decade of strict federal oversight. Duh.
