Ed , I lived in NY and NJ my whole life, do you truly believe that Rudy got rid of the mob? I know about his "wins" and efforts, but got rid of?
Well, not got rid off, biut waste hauling is now free of them, as are the garment inustry, the cement industry, the construction industries and the Fulton Fish Market.
I've read articles in the Post, Daily News and Times saying that people are entering those industries without mob shakedowns, they called it "the mob tax" and estimated that the average bill is 10% cheaper because he got the mob out of those industries.
