The mafia used to control garbage collection in NYC. In the late 90s, the mafia’s control was finally ended following a successful undercover operation by a NYPD detective and a legitimate hauler. The mafia used to extract a 500% to 1,000% markup on garbage collection fees. The breakup of the mafia’s control on garbage collection was a huge cost reduction almost every business in NYC. Politicians who challenged the mafia’s grip on the garbage business were met with crippling strikes. NYC should build a monument to the brave detective and hauler who risked their lives to collect the evidence needed to break the mafia’s control.
And a monument to Giuliani who absolutely hammered the Mob as US Attorney.
WOW... I did not know this.
