City Sticker Fees
- Owners of gas-powered cars in Chicago could get some city sticker shock to go along with the pain at the pump if one alderman's plan to increase the cost of the annual stickers is approved.
Ald. Proco "Joe" Moreno, 1st, hopes to raise about $21 million a year under a proposal that also would make the stickers free for drivers of electric cars and cut the cost for those with hybrid vehicles. - Moreno, who said he hopes to offer exemptions for heavy trucks that people need for businesses, suggested the higher sticker prices are justified because larger vehicles do more damage to city streets.
Of course, it couldn't have anything to do with the crappy material and crappier contractors the city uses to pave and repair streets, not to mention the piss poor job plowing and salting over the winter.

These morons just keep killing business in chicago and driving productive people out. I'm sure Raham is a little smarter then this dummy and knows the city stickers are already outrageous. Chicago is bad for business.
How does a hybrid car cause less wear and tear to the city's streets or take up fewer parking spaces on them?
The Federal government already has rebate incentives for people to purchase hybrids and electrics. Then, there's the built-in incentive to save money on high-priced (and high-taxed) gas, anyway.
Why, in a time of such financial difficulty, would the city cut its own financial throat by incentivizing vehicle stickers?
No. No breaks and no increases. Outrageous, Mr. Moreno, especially the part where you try to cloak this astounding increase in city vehicle sticker fees under the guise of 'being green'. No.
I've dealt with several crackhead bustouts who claim they worked for Moreno's campaign months back. Seems fitting.
we're already the highest in the state, shit the country. this idiot wants to raise it even more. junebug on the street aint going to have a sticker but the honest law abiding citizen and dont forget all those city workers will have to have one. this is so wrong in so many ways.
NO! This Alder-creature is doing nothing but playing up to what OBama is trying to do. If you've all been watching the news, recently Obama spoke in public, and in so many words, at this community forum, he wants to make sure we all go green and will require everyone to buy electric cars very soon. He made comments about owners of SUV'S and how it's not practical and wasteful. Now this was his answer for the ridiculous gas prices. Blame it on the SUV'S. He has NO PLANS on lowering gas prices at all, made no mention of it. Doesn't make any sense. His theory or plan? There's no better way of getting people to buy smaller cars if they cant afford gas prices of bigger engines. Problem with all of this is, no one in government wants to try other fuel options. Why? Most politicians and Political contributions come the big oil companies. Funny thing happened that left Obama Stumped is when a hard working middle class republican stepped to the mic and asked Obama WHY he's not doing anything to lower gas prices. He also asked why Obama wants to force everyone to buy small cars; small cars that yes, may save gas, but would not hold up well in most accidents. He then drops the bomb, and says, he has a large family of 8 Children that including him and the wife would not fit in a small vehicle and require an SUV. He also made a comment about how expensive these electric cars that Obama wants everyone to buy are so damn expensive. Well, he made Obama look like a fool, who was lost for words! So, I guess this Aldercreature thinks he's smart by kissing up to Obama early on, and where he might feel he may have a chance of being scooped up by Washington. This City is being destroyed by these fucking liberal democrats! Wanna save money? Cut back on all the welfare and Social Security benefits of all those who never and don't pay taxes, and who have never contributed to social security!!!! Oh! And Immigration too. We're burning up our resources on those who don't contribute, and who never have. Guess that's the new "American Dream".
"The city that works" is not working for me or many other people that I know is all I can say.
Should get interesting -- by summer
Gas should be well over $5/gal resulting in travel cutbacks for those 45 million people that normally visit here.
This economy is ready to shut down and combine that with the upcoming austerity programs..
What taxes are they going to raise then?
They just don't get it!
The citizens must be happy and must want to pay more in revenue to the city. Afterall, they voted most of the incumbents in right?
"...suggested the higher sticker prices are justified because larger vehicles do more damage to city streets."
Hey, wait! Isn't this the very same argument they used several years ago to raise the city sticker fees of certain SUV's, pick-up trucks, etc., but NOT the "family mini-van"?
Do they really think that the electorate is that stupid, that they can get away with this again?
Oh, nevermind. I guess the electorate IS that stupid; look who the've elected.
Nothing like a no-name alderman to stir up something in the news just to get his name out there. Hey I already forgot your name.
make sure u get one for your take home car right Ray Ray Hamilton and KB. Both have cars and u slep to work at almost $5 a gallon
I have a better idea to save $21 million. Dump half of the fuckin useless alderwhores.
To the guy in 010 who complains that the city doesn't tax illegal vendors, you do understad that you can arrest them for not having posted permits, right?
Arresting them makes a difference.
I have a car that is 9 yrs old, well-maintained but uses more gas than is appropriate but is not an SUV. What's greener, Ald Moron, buying a new car to save the $20 a year or paying the wretched city more dough? It's all so you can make $120K a year for working P/T while maintaining your old job at the printing place.
Thank you, Shortshanks for the gift of Ald Moron.
What about the damage done to our vehicles by this city's streets??
retired to. Tinley Park. senior sticker $1.50. reg. sticker $25.00 f Shitago
Ok, I'll pay more for the city sticker for my 5000 pound hemi truck but how about cutting me some slack with parking it on residential streets?! The folks on midnights in 020 seem to actively seek out my b-truck plate, it's ridiculous.
I have a Hybrid Tahoe, do I get a cheap city sticker?
This guy is a major douche, you can sure tell election season is over and they are back up to their bullshit.
Of course, this guy also represents people who don't have DLs, Insurance and drive POS cars.
This is what we get for electing the same old "experienced" politicians and the ruling class of politicians (the 2nd and 3rd generations of politicians).
I tried to convince people in my ward to vote for a fresh new face for our alderman. A gentleman who never held political office and ran a small business. The number one objective I received was "well we need people with experience". People didn't trust ONE OF THEIR OWN. Someone who knew what they were going through.
To that common objection, I said "well any reasonable person can do the job of alderman if they are a honest, decent and possess average intellectual abilities". Yet, people elected someone who held that office for ages and this is what we get.
I am pissed and I am going to run for public office in 2012. I will run for congress.
what about suzie's (mendoza) idea of selling ad space on the back of city stickers to reduce their cost?
I can't believe no one brought up the obvious. Doesn't the city buy SUV's for their fleet. And doesn't the presidents (no caps) security detail use SUV's. So if there is no use for them , then why are these agencies buying them,then telling us we can't have them?
And if it wasn't for some of these SUV's and trucks, no one would have recieved any assistance during the past major snow storm.
BTW, my new Crown Vic wastes more fuel than my F250 HD, and the CV is 2 years newer.

Hey pal, quit whining about the cops doing their job. It is a law on the books, they are just enforcing it. If it upsets your pretty little world so friggin much, get off the blog and go cry to your aldercreature, but quit bashing us! That's all we get anymore, whining little crybabys like you. Grow up.
those who can least afford a new or eco vehicle are going to be punished by an $$$ increase ????
Isn't this like debtors prison
where...if you could not afford your debts you were jailed until you did so?
Why punish those who can LEAST AFFORD an expensive vehicle?
AND add salt by having them also carry the financial load by letting those who CAN afford...off without paying a cent.
This is really a wrong solution.
I just did my income tax. I have to pay for any online purchases I made that come into the state of Illinois from another state. It almost seems that we elect people that look down on us. They don't care how much taxes hurt us as long as they accumulate money to appease their voter base. We are bled to finance the welfare constituent.
since I have a driveway, and there are no more inspectors, I think I will not buy a city sticker any more...fuck you, shitcago!
This hybrid/electric car fantasy is a load of horse shit. When you plug that car in, odds are the electricity is coming from a coal power plant. Look at the emissions that come from coal! Shit that will give ya nut cancer or a 3rd eye.
Off topic, I love how American kids are told that they will save the planet by recycling their juice boxes. Forget about the billions of Asians and South Americans that don't give a shit about green living and pollution laws. Keep making a difference kids.

Don't know how things are in 010 these days, but when I was there 10+ years ago, a state senator owned most, or all, of those carts and writing up or arresting one of them would stir up enough sh*t in your world that you realize real quick its just easier to leave them alone.
Is it right? No.
Is it worth it to prove or make a point? Thats your call, but it wasn't worth it for me.
Let me do my 8 hours as safely and simply as possible and go home.
Just sayin.
Doesn't a hybrid Escalade weigh more than a standard Escalade? They jacked up the rates for larger SUVs several years ago with the same lame excuse. It is the trucks (especially overloaded ones) and buses that cause most of the damage to the street.
Also if you remember years ago smaller engined autos paid a lower rate than larger engined autos. The rate was then raised to the larger engine rate for all vehicles with some lame excuse. We are all sheeple.
Vote them all out and they will all be on welfare because they couldn't hold a legit job.
The outrageous Chicago gas tax pays for roads. Along with county, state, and federal gas tax.
This is just another example of robbing the citizens that live here.
I'll Register the cars in the burbs at our friends address.
Fuck em
To the post regarding arresting the illegal vendors in 010. Yes, sure but the commander instructs officers to look the other way and not to mess with them. Apparently when they cracked down on them a few alderscum came in to the station and gave him an earful. If he wasn't such a pushover, something would be done. Don't give me the your still the police line. Do you want to go back to midnights? Didn't think so!
Hybrid cars are not what they appear. The cost to build and operate will take the average owner 35 years to re coup the investment. look into it. It's true. I remember in the late 1980's a car that got 40 miles to the gallon. What happended to it?

KB doesn't have a car anymore. Her guy left so now she is just like the rest of us again.
My truck doesn't cause any damage to the street, but the street sure causes damage to my truck. I remember when the stickers were $25.00, hell I remember when you had to put them in water and then stick them on the window. The sticker fee's are already outrageous and we don't need any more fee's. What causes damage to the streets is the weather, salt, plowing, and the crappy materials they use to repair the street, not my truck.
I hope all of you who voted for this goof ball are happy.......this is what we all get.
The "new normal" of high gas prices is going to reduce the number of vehicles on the road.
The city is simply trying to maintain revenue by increasing fees. Look for the federal government to do the same with fuel taxes.
It's not personal, just business.

It does not make a damn difference when the judge throws the cases out. No fine, No punishment Why bother? How about not letting the illegals come here?(No that would be too much like right, right Mr. Mayor)
Maybe I'll start buying my stickers down on 18th street like all the other pieces of shit that find creative ways to circumvent the law...
And cops wonder why most cars are registered to the suburbs or have out of state plates. It seems like half the cars I see while on patrol have Michigan or Wisconsin plates and the Illinois plates I do pull over are all registered to the suburbs. I don't blame them a bit.
This is NOT going to generate more revenue. It just means more people will register their vehicles elsewhere like they did last time there was an increase. These aldercreatures are so fucking stupid.
They have the balls to say "the suvs takes up more parkting spaces" or we're concerence about our citys pollution". gag me. It's all about the money and for city workers were forced to live here and have to buy them no matter what the cost.
hmm! maybe this is the new clerk susies plan in order for her to have a detail? the current city clerk dumped the waste detail but she wants it! As a matter of fact why does the city treasurer have such a large cpd detail and police spec car?

Get the damn B Plate Truck permit from your ward office jagoff.
Yes, where is the city clerk who vowed to lower them?
Interesting. Pokey-Joe Moreno wants
to give a pass on buying city stickers to those who can afford a hybrid. Note: Moreno drives a hybrid that he was able to afford
from his city of chicago salary now he wants punish every one who
can't afford to drive one.
He also proposes to give a pass to
those who can afford to purchase
the first cousin to a fork-lift
truck, yep, the battery-powered car. And confusing is his proposal
to exempt large trucks that are used by businesses to pickup and
deliver, that's confusing since they are the ones really destroying
the pavements. Either way we are
looking at a minimum ninety-five
dollar city sticker.
Funny, this alderman wannabe hasn't even been sworn-in yet and already he is proposing a tax increase. Maybe people would not mind if the money was used to repair and maintain the streets and alleys but we know that theywant more money in the kitty for "various" enterprises and to put more friends and relatives on the city payroll, and Pokey-Joe wisely waited until after the election to put forth his tax increase proposal. I wonder did the late Fred Roti vist him in a dream ?

Good luck with that. You do know your w/c is supposed to walk the facility, including the lot, each tour, right?
Which means it gets delegated to the sergeant, who is obligated to write you if the car you customarily drive to work is without a sticker. Yes, that even includes the car you fake-register in the burbs.
We all know it's a pain, but you're really willing to blow at least a day's pay, the price of a sticker, the price of a late fee for the sticker, and the irritation of your supervisors, just so you can stomp your foot?
Penny wise, pound foolish.

hey jagoff, u work in 020, u don't have nothing better to do than write parkers. u no timers on the job never pay attention to what the wheel PATROLMEN have been saying for years. DO NOT GENERATE REVENUE for the city, don't worry about being dumped to midnites. even in 020 it ain't that hard.
My mid-size pickup is already $180.00 just because of the dam B-plate. Now it will possibly be $200.00??!!! F-you!!!! I drive my little beater to work anyway and the truck is parked in the garage. As much as I do want to follow the rules, it's getting out of hand. Ill take the risk and register in the burbs but take my name off of it. We are being forced to do such tings just to survive and still enjoy life. How many family road trips are going to be shortened or canceld this summer because of the gas prices? What about summer holiday family parties being scaled back or canceled because of the higher food prices? I swear these part-time aldermen think they are the only ones who deserve to live well while us full-time working "pesants" should be gratefull for the crumbs they throw us. I still love my job, but I HATE the politics of this city. As for declaring my out of state purchases to the state of Illinois, GO FIST YOURSELVES!! COME AND GET IT THREE-COUNTY-QUINN!

You want us to believe that he specifically told you to ignore law violations that you witness. Sounds like Official Misconduct to me.
To the guy writing about "Junebug" with no sticker, writing the violation when you see it would go a long way to persuade "Junebug" to buy one.
yes Daley already used that one and the streets are rated for 27000 lbs for the tractor trailers per U of I

This is a bs tax and a bs reason to raise it, (Fed $ grants fund street improvements, ward offices doles it out, go tap the TIF money Ald. Moroono ), so until my streets are fixed, swept and I see a beat car respond when I call once in a while, the Pickup truck registration will remain in the suburbs ($10 sticker/rv plate) & don't park in the city lot. Three years @ $30, saved $450, but had to apply those annual savings to the rising water bill.
That's how I share my wealth - I'm giving back !!!!
Oh, and Bowzer & Ginger don't have a tags anymore and neither will my Hog.
And when will our 50 Aldermen begin to weep and wail that they hadn't had a raise in over 3 years....???
Off Topic : In todays Suntimes there's a story about this scumbag killing a former girlfriend in Oakbrook after learning, via the internet, that Illinois no longer has the death penalty. I hope the victims family sues this shitty state and our asshat of a govenor! This is a perfect example of how the death penalty DOES prevent murder!
Retired and live in Chicago. My car is registered to a (family) address in the south burbs as well as my DL and insurance. The insurance went down by $150.00 a year - good zip code. I park my car in my garage so not to get a Zone Permit for Chicago 24/7 type. Since I have had my 2nd hip replacement - I do have a handicapped card to put in the window for the parking meters which now run for $1.25 per hour. I only use it for parking on the almost deserted street in my area. I don't use it in the parking lots of grocery or department store lots because I think there are people more deserving then me should use them. (Wheelchairs) But, I don't think that having a fat ass is a handicap. Look at some of the people using the card. I shake my head.
Oh well, one of these days the people of Chicago will be paying $150.00 a year for a sticker.
Sorry for the rant but the pension check only goes so far and Social Security is a laugh. We get "0" because we have a Police Pension.

since hybrids and such use so little fuel, they already pay less in the road use tax that comes from the purchase of gasoline. Looking at it this way, they should pay at least as much as regular fuel vehicles
Gasoline prices up over 67% sincwe the Imam Osamabama took over. Democrats, nothing but Parasites who want to exist on other peoples money.
how about making all the ''fakers'' that live here with the out of city and out of state registration pay in? most of the yuppsters have their cars still registered in michigan-ohio-indiana or the subs. they would rake in some cash.

Finally, Logic!
Oregon dealt with this issue a couple of years ago. They charge Hybrid and now electric cars a road usage tax since they are not getting the 'normal amount' of fuel taxes.
Oh, one semi equals the weight of 12 cars and we can guess the damage the overloaded ones do. Maybe we could inspect and ticket them to raise revenue? Naaah, what am I thinking!

Actually, I'm in the same boat buddy, same district too. Been in 020 for 5 years and do the ghetto commute every day. If you're properly stickered etc and they still do the tickets then it's a shame.
Some of the grammar, spelling, syntax, etc makes me really wonder about some of my fellow officers make it through the day writing reports.
When I was an FTO, I was a stickler for all of the above and gave the advice to "write every report as if The Mayor and/or The Superintendant would have it on their desk as part of their morning reading.
Defense lawyers JUST LOVE to tear up badly written reports, especially when their guy is guilty.
All the taxes need to go down this ald. moron needs replacing.
Larger vehicles ALREADY pay a higher sticker price. According to the alderman, the SUV's take a larger toll on our streets, so I assume all the extra money will go towards repairing JUST streets? I have lived at my house for 16 years and have NEVER had any repais to my streets, never had new sewers, sidewalks or street lights).........If you want your sidewalk fixed, they want you to pay half. How about increasing the fines and impounding cars for those who don't bother to buy a city sticker.......oh wait, that would mean half his ward would be in trouble.......
I thought Susanna Mendoza, our newly elected city clerk, said she was gonna lower the price on city stickers ! that was her campaign promise. Or did I miss that speech?
Wasn't it a year or so ago that the, I believe, no-bid manufacturer of the city stickers was dumped because tens of thousands of city stickers did not stick to the windshield due to the manufacturer cutting corners on the amount of adhesive used?
That is SO Democrat Chicago.
The company that had done it before for decades never produced defective stickers or very, very few.
The people who live in this city and didn't vote for new blood are really gonna get it up the ass.
I'm looking for an exit.
Tens of thousands that can are exiting right now.

As much as I dislike that mouthbreather....he's right.
I know PO's that troll 010 back alley's writing Sticker tickets on vehicles parked inside gates lots and driveways.
I've seen Clerk Vehicles driving around with those Contractors doing the same thing.
I've heard that Revenue ticket machines are directly tied into Sec State for Plate and VIN and DL residency checks.
Thinking you're safe on private property from a city sticker ticket is about as dumb as you can get.
I found the solution to the city sticker rip-off.
As a P/O, I now have my vehicles registered in grandmother's name, way outside the city.
Amazing how they force you to do this.
No. No breaks and no increases. Outrageous, Mr. Moreno, especially the part where you try to cloak this astounding increase in city vehicle sticker fees under the guise of 'being green'. No.
