It was widely known that Scalish closed the books for a long time. Scalish trusted nobody except for those closest to him. Plus, by the 1960’s & 1970’s, Italians weren’t pouring into the city like previous years and by the early 70’s, the blue collar workers were all getting laid off and losing manufacturing jobs daily. Gambling rackets shrunk. I’m not saying that is the primary reason but it certainly is a part of it. Many of the rust belt cities dealt with this.
I tink that was a factor , I would point out that scalish was in charge in 50-60's when the ecomony was booming , like you said he didn't need to expand pass the current members to maintain the power , as arm chair dons looking 50-60 years in the future maybe we are to focused on made guys , ONe Ronnie carabbia is worth more then ten made guys who arnt worth a shit , as we stated many times why would scalish rock the boat HE was making good money
there is still some good stuff that has not been talk about yet , I have a feeling
that information will come out once loose and Papalardo pass on hopefully not anytime soon as there both good guys, there is kind a rule of thumb you don't about people that are still alive
