Heading: Sullivan & McGrath

Text: 93 During the summer of 1997, Dennis McGrath, the president of Sullivan & McGrath Construction wanted to obtain protection for one of his Queens sites. A subcontractor recommended that McGrath speak to Tony Nestor. Nestor told McGrath that in return for $ 1500 per month, he would provide protection. McGrath also hired some of Nestor's coalition members. In late August, Nestor came to the site with Hunter, who had a gun in his pocket. 4 After being told McGrath was unavailable, Hunter told Frank Fallon, the job foreman at the site that he better get McGrath on the mother fucking phone right now or he would have a problem. McGrath spoke to Hunter, and the two agreed to a meeting. After consulting with the police, McGrath wore a recording device to the meeting, which Hunter, Nestor, Fallon, and several of Hunter's and Nestor's men also attended. When McGrath accused Hunter of bringing a gun to the work site the previous week, Hunter denied it and said to Fallon, wasn't [I] polite? Hunter also complained that he was due $ 4500 in payments, not just $ 1500. Police officers broke up the meeting shortly thereafter.
