This way if a topic comes up, the family knowns they would have at least two votes in their favor or able to bring an issue to the top families that they want to resolve but their representative family has its hands full on different matters. This also helps for a family to get recruits if they need them.


If I remember well the bonannos put their flag on rochester and made tommy marotta or another associate of the defunct family. This for a place near the us canada border.
