I thought there was also a Commission meeting in 1982. Mostly pertaining to drugs in particular Gambino soldier Little Pete Tambone. The Commission was voting on whether or not to kill him for drug dealing but ended up in a deadlock vote and he was put on the shelf. When Gotti took over in 86 he reinstated Tambone
Why would Paul Castellano need permission from the Commission to kill a soldier in his own family?
Like I said it wasn’t just that one issue but Paul did bring it to the Commission.
I did a little research and it turns out Tambone was well connected with the other families somehow, probably through joint business ventures or may be he just had friends in high places. The Commission vote was apparently 2 - 2 dead locked so it was decided to put him on the shelf, this was in 1982.
