Right, like they're trying to show informal power structure
Which is a true Chicago thing, but they just picked such a silly way to do that. There was a way easier way - have Jimmy tell them who to grab in the hallway at City Hall and slip the envelope to (which is closer to how it actually works). Why try so hard to be authentic only to make such weird affectations in the end?
