Knowing that a fair bit of this informant's info is wrong, is the bit about FA being a Milwaukee tavern operator accurate? Was he in Milwaukee at this time?

Never have heard of this:
New info from retired FBI says Accardo was going to hit Balisteri in 1961 over a murder of a nightclub owner.

The reason Balasreri was saved is he had a high ranking cuzin in KC . Who was the cousin?

August Maniaci

As for why Milwaukee ended up answering directly to Chicago, here's Maniaci's explanation:

Milwaukee Crime Family boss Sam Ferrera tried to take over a gambling joint operated by Balistrieri. Balistrieri objected so Ferrera shelved him and may have even plotted to kill him. Balistrieri's father-in-law, capo John Alioto, reached out to Chicago for help. Accardo and Giancana decided Ferrera acted improperly, replaced him with Alioto and reinstated Balistrieri. Chicago never left.

Villain wrote: ↑Wed Apr 08, 2020 2:01 pm The point is that besides Milwaukee being under Chicago, still Balistrieri obviously did more than few things on his own

Milwaukee received part of the skim from Las Vegas.

Thats right. Thats one mistake regarding Giancana but still everything else is in place. Milwaukee kicked up to Chicago and there are many examples with Alderisio and Battaglia. Chicago received larger share from the Vegas proceedings while Milwaukee, KC etc. received smaller shares

Villain wrote: ↑Wed Apr 08, 2020 2:44 pm I dont know if Cavita will agree with me on this but theres a possibility that sometimes or during some period Chicago also represented Rockford's interests on the round table, but still they operated independently besides having some mutual operations such as gambling, car theft or counterfeiting

I agree 100% on this. I found it interesting as well that when Appalachin went down in November 1957 that Rockford asked Frank Zito from Springfield, Illinois to represent their interests at the mafia summit because boss Tony Musso was dying of cancer. Zito, of course, was one of those caught in the dragnet.
