people talk about the commission like it ruled the entire american mafia
they bullied the northeast families but that' about it
chicago and detroit were also on the commission and they pretty much had say over the midwest famlies or at least had a certain amount of influence over them, so between the northeast and the midwest, that was pretty much the entire american mafia that was under the control of the commission.
chicago didn't give a fuck about what was going on in ny
detroit's power was limited because chicago was in the way
chicago bullied the midwest/west....ny bullied the northeast
Right, new york had the northeast and chicago had the midwest so between them the commision ruled pretty much the entire american mafia with the exception of the south east with marcello and trafficante, but even when marcello had a problem in his family when sam corallos son claimed he was the rightful heir to family, they brought it to new york to settle it.
chicago probably didn't even show up to the meeting
