Rahm Snorting Chlorine Again
- Is the lure of a $25 gift card enough to persuade a parent who’s not involved in their child’s education to get involved?
Seventy Chicago Public Schools that have struggled to engage parents are about to find out.
At Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s request, Walgreen Co. has agreed to provide $25 gift cards to parents who pick up their students’ report cards and participate in parent-teacher conferences during report card pickup days.
“This is a way, in my view, of incentivizing responsible parenting,” Emanuel told a news conference at Field Elementary School, 7019 N. Ashland.
Is he serious? "incentivizing responsible parenting?" In what parallel universe is this unmitigated ass living in? If you "incentivize" (which isn't even a real word) bad behavior, what do you get? More bad behavior.
Every study in existence proves this. Example A is the entire welfare system - you pay someone not to work, you get a shitload of people not working. You give someone a check for pushing out babies, pretty soon the birthrate skyrockets and you have 15, 14 even 13-year-olds having babies. You know what reduced the teen birthrate back in the 1990's? Stopping the checks.
- Emanuel said he got the gift card idea during one of his morning workouts.
“That’s what happens when I start swimming. I start coming up with ideas,” the mayor said.
The mayor then approached Walgreen CEO Greg Wasson, who jumped at the opportunity to “give back” to the city where the company has operated for 112 years and now has 150 stores.
This explains part of where he keeps getting these fucked up ideas - chlorine poisoning.
And these idiot businessmen and women who keep enabling bad behavior, not only on the part of the parent, but on the part of an out-of-his-mind mayor.

A $100 bail bond card would probably be of greater interest to most CPS parents.
OT
"Michelle Obama spending third night in Chicago"......translation
Michelle is going through their Hyde Park house deciding what needs to be sent to Hawaii after the election.
I DEMAND that I get the gift cards. My sons go to Edison Park and Northside Prep, so I qualify, right? I mean, it's my $5500 tax bill paying for these cards right? They are BOTH A students, raising the State test scores. No love for the tax paying, hard working white man?
Seems legit.
This guy is fucking nuts! Why not start paying parents to send their kids off to school on time also!
Ps: I'm changing my scripts to CVS or Dominick's. FU King Rahm and anyone who gets in bed with you. Are you listening Mikey?
So if my kid goes to a school that isn't in 007 or 011, can I pick up $25?
Rahm's tutu serves as a flotation device for his brain, but unfortunately it didn't bring him to the surface until his brain was permanently damaged by lack of oxygen.
I hope Walgreen's recognizes than when they come in to spend their $25.00 gift card, they will be shoplifting that much or more during their visit?
The gift card should be limited to vitamins and medications, not hairspray and 'Flamin' Hots'!
Ha, so think about it.
We now have the offset to the violence tax on ammo. The $25 dollars from Walgreen's will free up money for the thugs to buy their ammo with!
Fantastic eh? Sad day for you blue shirts, you get to pay full price.
I'm glad I don't shop at Walgreens. Even more reason now.
Gift card.. ? Really? Rahms got it goin in now..
How about $$50 dolla gift card and I'll make shure my kids does there home works??
"And these idiot businessmen and women who keep enabling bad behavior, not only on the part of the parent, but on the part of an out-of-his-mind mayor."
According to the article, Walgreens has 150 stores in Chicago. That's A LOT of business licenses, liquor licenses, inspections, etc.
It wouldn't surprise me if this deal was made under some duress.
12 pack of beer, pack of smokes, and some rolling papers should take care of the 25 dollars--- we all know that it would never be spent on school supplies for little boo--- hopefully rahmbo doesn't take up pilates, who knows what type of ideas he would come up with....
Looks like a new money laundering machine gimmick to me.
We'll give you a tax break so you can skim a little off the top and then hand out a few gift cards with the rest -- which will then be spent and taxed and the politico's can then skim off a little for themselves.
Now we are paying these rats to send their kids to school.
I have no words this time. Any able bodied parent that picks up a gift card should be slapped in the face. Are you kidding me?
Parents have to be paid to do the right thing. It's a "what's in it for me" attitude. Maybe we could cut the crime rate by paying parents to keep their kids off the street. Where does it end?
With all the free money being given out is $25 really worth it? I am guessing that more parents that are currently involved get the $25 gift card than the non-involved parents.
Rahm doesn't care if he gives away the company store...he's looking to be President in 4 more years.
But true, big shot CEO's need to stop supporting his habit of begging for money for stupid things like gifts to parents for picking up their kid's report card...Waaaaa!!!
Where is the love????
And people wonder what's wrong with the ghetto rats? They have to be paid to participate in their kids school and for only a few mins. Then it's back to smoking dope, drinking, eating and sleeping. And when they get the free time they go pick up their government checks. Normal, but Sad
You see this? Thats what happens when you keep giving free stuff to these rats! I'm gonna escape this crazy reality and drink a gallon of beer and eat a crave case from White Castle.
“That’s what happens when I start swimming. I start coming up with ideas,” the mayor said.
Yeah. If I stick my head under water so that I can't get oxygen to my brain, I can come up with ideas and be the mayor too.
SCC, you're missing one "fucking" in the label
As a teacher in the CPS, I nearly shit myself when I saw this story! This shows this sob knows what the problem is with schools and it's students' parents (bring on the home visits too. We should give parents 50$ a visit to allow us to help them), but then he makes us strike to get a fair shake! F him and the fairy cloud he road in on!
He wants us and the CPD to be accountable for the unaccoutable. He wants our admin and brass to have autonomy over hiring and firing to be able to hold the bosses accountable?... We don't get to pick and choose what students we teach or which calls we respond to (apparently that's 911's job now). When we can expell and discipline students and bad guys get locked up and stay locked up, ill be first in line to fire myself if I can't produce.
I would love to see a follow up of which schools (can't wait to see that) and the numbers of parents in attendance vs the number last year (the real number, not the made up one that they will use). Laughable even if it wasn't meant to be a joke!
Sorry for the rant, but wtf. Worlds supposed to end in december right?...
this guy is as soft as baby shit
Just like giving the wino's a pint to vote last election....WTF
SCC I am giving up swimming . . . .
Seriously maybe we should incentivize the parents by, hmmm, punishing them for not caring for their children's welfare?
That would work in any other county in Illinois except for Cook County because under the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, chapter on evidence allowed at hearings alleging neglect against a parent, a parent whose child is a "chronic truant" is presumed to be neglecting the child, except of course if the parent lives in a county with a population greater than 2 million. Read for yourself:
705 ILCS 405/2-18(5)
(5) In any hearing under this Act alleging neglect for failure to provide education as required by law under subsection (1) of Section 2-3, proof that a minor under 13 years of age who is subject to compulsory school attendance under the School Code is a chronic truant as defined under the School Code shall be prima facie evidence of neglect by the parent or guardian in any hearing under this Act and proof that a minor who is 13 years of age or older who is subject to compulsory school attendance under the School Code is a chronic truant shall raise a rebuttable presumption of neglect by the parent or guardian. This subsection (5) shall not apply in counties with 2,000,000 or more inhabitants.
See, more proof that laws don't apply to Cook County like they do in the rest of the State.
It appears Walgreens will be in line for the next favor from Ralmulous' administration.
If these are Rahm's best ideas, and he gets them while swimming, WE are in BIG trouble. . . .
STAY out of the water!!
Between my wife and I one of us, sometimes both, always attend report card pickup. Does that mean we'll be getting a $25 gift card this year? I'm not holding my breath... I think we're the wrong demographic.
I think it's ridiculous bribery to try and force a parent to take an interest in their kids schoolwork. That being said if they're going to do it then EVERYONE in EVERY neighborhood should get the gift cards.
Maybe next time Rahm's snorting chlorine he can come up with an idea of how to shore up our pension!
Rahm must have been swimming when he wrote a glowing review of jean claude brizard, outgoing superintendent of schools, and then hired a new schools chief at the same pay, plus $30K in moving expenses.
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/ct-met-brizard-contract-20121031,0,7160801.story
So because of Brizard's contract, he will get a severance package covering his pay to the end of his contract, even though he won't be working to the end of his contract. Plus, Rahm will have the City taxpayers pay for Brizard's health insurance for him and his family for one year. The City will essentially be paying the salaries of two school superintendents at $250K/year for a few months but only getting the benefit of one superintndent. The article doesn't mention if Brizard will get any of the Teacher's pension.
I wish that Rahm didn't like how I did police work, and then told me to leave the job, but he would cover my pay until I get to 20 years on the job.
It seems like anytime Rahm goes swimming, he ends up spending a lot of money afterwards.
I hope he does a whole bunch of laps right before our police contract settles.
Walgreens better double their stock of Hennessey and ceroc........
Aviation swat rules.......
Check out Tiny Dancer's Halloween video
http://www.jibjab.com/view/pNRR9MxRRE-JjWKHWY80KA?mt=1
And I'm sure Walgreen's will pass the cost of those "gift" cards onto their paying customers.
Screw 'em. I'm taking all my business to CVS.
While they're at Walgreens, make them take a "wellness test" or they don't get their fuckin LINK card or Section 8 voucher.
How about the city give me a cheque for picking up after my dogs droppings...incentivizing responsible pet ownership?
If this happens I will start giving my business to CVS.
Talk about a STUPID idea (unless you are a parent who will be getting 25.00). I sent my children to a private school (my choice) and now my tax dollars will go to a parent who has to be begged to come in and pick up their childs report card. I think if you dont pick up your childs report card you should have to pay 25.00. In the suburbs they have a referendum on the ballot to raise taxes for schools. In Chicago we just bend over and they shove it up our ****.
This is the biggest joke yet. But wait I think he may have another idea that can top this.
That’s what happens when I start swimming. I start coming up with ideas,” the mayor said.
Please dont ever swim again. Dont even go within a mile of a pool.
Incentivize. Now he's talking Ebonics. How low will he go?
---not a cop
I have a much better idea. If you aren't involved in your child's life, instead of bribery, we resort to violence. The goverment takes the kid away and then shoots you so you can never breed more.
The children are then placed in a special training facility and turned into fanatical, disciplined warriors who believe in mom, apple pie, watching football and driving GM products. Much like the Turks used captive Christian children to be the core of their Janissary Corps.
Once we have enough of the properly indoctrinated killing machines, we swear them all in and it solves the manpower program. They can then be deployed to those areas that need urban renewal (yes Austin, I am looking at you) and the gloves come off.
A much better idea than a gift card.
Hmmmm, I wonder if Rhambito strong armed Walgreens since Walgreens has been making a shit load of money from the employee wellness program.
So let me get this straight. A parent doesn't give a shit about their child's education. I give them twenty-five bucks to get them involved. Are you telling me this ain't gonna work?
Well, I guess it's back to the old swimming hole.
Just thought of something. Me in the pool. Something floating in the toilet bowl. Could there be a connection?
"Ya see that, son?"
"Yeah Dad... I see it."
"Ya know what your Grand-Dad says that is?"
"Yeah."
*In unison*
"There goes that BULLSHIT I've been telling you about."
"I'm happy and proud of you, son. You've come to recognize bullshit and at such a young age. Know this... You're now in great danger here in Chicago because of your ability."
"I'm ready, Dad!"
>SMILE!<
"That's my boy!"
how could the mayor of a city say this with a straight face? we are all suckers
I've been at every report card pick-up (even within days of being released from having my second child)for the last 18yrs. Do I get any retro gift cards?
ME THINKS! The Mayor is a victim of "SELF WATERBOARDING".
All the blogs I read make me laugh and cry everyday thanks this was well put funny but your right. Keep it up
I will never ever ever step foot in a Walgreens parking lot if this happens. Ever. CVS will get my business and I will tell as many people as I can. $25 will go to Flaming Hots, "chips" and Orange Drank and if there is more left over a pack of Newports.
what does rahm care?? it aint him thats paying for it, yet another stupid costly idea by the number one idiot in the city, thanks rahm ur a real winner!
Grew up on the South Side in the 60's and NO WAY would my parents even think of taking some $ card. Even those parents who were from the Old Country would be insulted!
And how long till this program gets abused; let's see "i got 8 kids in school, that $200 for me"...Walgreens, get set for a never-ending headache.
hello Walgreen's - "gimme a bottle of ripple and a pack of Newports, I just found out where my kid goes to school!"
What about divorced parents? Never seen a $12.50 gift card.
Biden stated that the GOP would put people back in chains. The reality is the Democratic Party has put these people in chains, making them dependent on the government. It does not fare the democrats well to have people working and being fed up with with gigantic taxes, better to have them unemployed and be on the receiving end of those taxes.
Kind of like sending rice to Ethiopia. Yes Mr Walgreens please send 100 cases of gift cards over to city hall. Hahahah. Who do you think will actually get those gift cards after the cameras go away.
How bout a # 3 meal from Harold's when they only get charged with a misdemeanor and a free night at the Marriot when they chose to leave a confrontation with baby mama.
is this an admission that W.I.C. does not work? Can ghetto mama give me a tax rebate?
find 10 more companys and fix our pension..
"no love for the tax paying hard working white man"
You are not alone white man.
RACISM, alive and well in the Chicago Police Department.
“That’s what happens when I start swimming. I start coming up with ideas”
Yeah, an idea of shaking down a business for money.
Most of you seem to believe the story that Walgreens was excited to give back to the community.....bullshit!!! This administration along with the last administration strong arms these people and they accept it as a cost of doing business in this city. My brother-in-law was an executive of a large financial institution and they wanted to put up signage on their building. They were told they had to have a sit down with the mayor (Daley) and a donation to friends of the park would guarantee such a meeting. $250,000 later they have their signage.
I mean do you really think Rahm went to Walgreens and floated this brilliant idea of his and Walgreens just couldn't wait to be a party to it?
Do they have to spend the give card in Walgreens? Corporate welfare meets ghetto welfare?
WTF?? I'm calling my alderwoman and complain..... ah never mind!
They only get the card if they got straight A's, right?
Next freebie will be a $100 Walgreens gift card for every CPS chile shot during a school day.
I can see the headline now:
"Riots on the streets because Walgreens sold out of Flamin Hots and Red Pop"
MWRD POLICE
The only thing we can hope for; the next time Rahm go swimming that:
A. A shark attack occurs.
B. A tsunami
C. Some one open up the drain and watch his narrow ass swirl down the drain into the Deep Tunnel.
From our perspective that would be two for one. Remove the waste and chlorinate our wastewater. The down side this might create a level one hazmat in the sewers.
"Chlorine poisoning." Nice one SCC. Scalded my nostrils with Dunkin Donuts Pumpkin (foo foo) coffee when I read that. Have a good Halloween.
And this is exactly why other countries laugh at us and don't take us seriously.
"Walgreens better double their stock of Hennessey and ceroc........"
Or cough syrup. Walgreens got everything you need to make purple DRANK, right?
Seriously, if a community of people needs to be "incentivized" to do the bare minimum of what it takes to be a good parent, $25 gift cards aren't going to help.
This is fourth grade mentality, not problem solving. This mayor is insane.
Why not ticket ignoramus parents $250 to cover CPS admin costs? That ought to get them off their butts.
and Rahm Emanuel---stop using your hidden coffers for SHIT ideas like paying parents to be more responsible!
And use the money we all know you DO have, lying Rahm, to hire more cops, eliminate graffiti, clean up garbage, control rat population and to stop squeezing commuters like sardines in tin cans on CTA service!
"I DEMAND that I get the gift cards. "
Not me. Walgreens doesn't owe me shit. Of course, I'm not required to shop there either.
So if you have 9 little shitheads to pick up report cards for, do you get 9 gift cards????
And by the way, I will never step foot in a Walgreen's again. Period.
Let me see...
Free jackets for school
Free backpacks and school supplies
Free in-school breakfast
Free in-school lunches
Free after school program dinners
Payments for home visitation
Payments for showing up at school to pick up report cards
Classic example of 'Throwing good money after bad.'
rahm wants to take away benefits from city workers and retirees .
Rahm gives $25 gift cards to parents for picking up a report card . Looks like making breakfast , lunch , afternoon snacks and now picking up report cards are not a responsibility of a parent . unreal , pop out a baby
and let the government do the rest.
While you're at it "runt" give em a gift card every time they wipe their ass, it'll stop a lot of pollution ! It also makes as much sense as paying "parents" for taking an interest in their kids. You are a real idiot, runt !!!
Here's another idea, or suggestion for you Mayor...
Tie cinder blocks to your ankles next time you got for a swim.
Gift cards. Wow.
Keep voting Dummycratic! They give everything away to the 47 percent! How about cutting them off of Govt benefits. They shouldn't be mooching off the Govt for the rest of their lives.
Should be $25 worth of condoms. Maybe that will prevent some unwanted pregnancies and free up some space at the firehouse of all those little bastards getting dropped off at birth.

You idiot box. I'm sorry, where did you get the notion that hard working, tax paying black parents will get these gift cards? You think the black parents at Whitney Young or Northside Prep are getting gift cards..yeah right.
By the way, isn't Rahm a hard working taxpaying white man? He sure is buying a lot of political love with this crap. You have no idea how many black people look at these handouts and government programs as a trap that will prevent irresponsible people from taking any initiative in their own lives. They just won't tell you. It's sort of how I know plenty of black people that think conservatively but have a hard time voting for the same people who are often found saying offensive things to and about black people. There are a ton of black conservatives out there but the republican party has a hard time slating candidates they like or respect. I aint getting a gift card and I'm glad you're not either.
To 02:04 -
If you really are a CPS teacher, you clearly are part of the problem. Please learn how to use the English language. Typing on a keyboard is no excuse for spelling and grammar errors. You're a teacher!

Nobody said that at gun turn in time when suburban gun groups admittedly turned in busted and non-working guns and bragged about it. It was funny, remember?
I'm an able bodied parent. My children learn first at home because we're their first teachers. I'd hope that you'd be the one slapping me in the face because after I cracked you upside your head I'd take your gift card too and have $50....not in front of the children of course, gotta set a good example :)
What if all 6 of their kids go to different schools?
Coo Coo for CoCo Puffs.
STOP this socialist bastard in OUR White House, and his socialist policies. rahm is following the Socialist policies of barack oboma, like a good commie/socialist should.
Vote for Romney and VOTE OUT oboma. You give these Socialists an inch and they'll take a mile..of your life, liberty, YOUR choice to pursue your life's desires as YOU see fit. If you do not remove oboma in November, you will have full fledged Socialism in this country...and you will then know what living in hell is all about.
See you at the polls.
Should have never been a gift card; Never. But since he went through with it, and I still think it's ridiculous and a waste of more money that we dont have, have restrictions on the card. Only to be used to school supplies only. But as we all know, it will be spent on flaming hots, cigarettes or several bottles of Steel Reserve 211

"Now we are paying these rats to send their kids to school."
I wonder what I could get if I started to be a fucked up parent....I know, a fucked up kid. Quit paying these assholes with my tax dollars and Rahm, fuck you. You are out of office next election. Name one god thing you have done. One?
Fuck that bullshit than every parent who does currently show up on a regular basis and attends every parent/teacher conference and is always participating at school activities should get a 5,000 retro check along with grandfathering them in with handing them 1000 gift card for being a fucken parent everyday.
I swim at the same pool as Rahm. He and his son come in and take up two lanes at 6 am, when the pool is reserved for a team workout, forcing the other 15 swimmers into the other lanes. His driver sits in the parking lot with the engine running. So much for green.
More waste. More money going to the same group of people that only take and give nothing back to society. More money going to the the lazy and unproductive. More money going to the people that are weighing America down and putting us into a financial crisis. If we keep rewarding bad behavior and lazyness why would these people ever want to be productive? All this does is create more democrats.
How about with holding Public assistance checks unless your child attends school or parents take a roll in there kids life? Most underperformers are children who's parents recieve some type of public assistance make them accountable for the entire school year. Maybe thats why students in private schools perform better, because their parents have invested time and money in their childs education. All you are teaching people who already dont give a damn that is that you get something for nothing.
I am transfering my prescriptions to C.V.S. or Target. Boycot Walgreen's.
"Incentivising responsible parenting."
IS IT HUMANLY POSSIBLE TO PANDER ANY HARDER THAN THIS?
EEEE-FUCKING-GADS!
Live and in Technicolor...
A PICTURE PERFECT instance of Chicago-style nanny statism and yellow-pinky, pandering to the least common denominator, lib-tard fuckery captured for posterity.
It is to everyone's sorrow that this shit has now gone nation-wide.
When a detached from reality, North Shore Shit-Ass "has an idea" while swimming, everybody that will end up paying the freight instinctively winces in pain...
It is nigh near unimagineable & probably unspeakable in the company of normal men what this maladjusted, misshapen, digitally challenged cloven-hoofed imp brainstorms while taking a deuce.
His animus toward regular people is as immense as he is small in stature and character...
Meanwhile, the propaganda war against The Police, their families and all their concerns, is being racheted up even more.

I wonder if Sauganash or Edgebrook schools will get these cards? Do these parents get paid to care about their kids? I'm thinking...hmmmm....Class Action Lawsuit?
How about incentivizing not having kids, let's say a $25,000.00 gift card. Oh wait...they already have the Link Card, WIC, free medical, Section 8, and on those off days...all you can eat Vitaloaf courtesy of the Cook County Jail.
liberals are funny people..screw the police-fire and teachers..but,let s piss away $ on some ''feel good'' lost cause.
This is just the continuation of the Democrat idea of cradle-to-grave entitlement. NOW we have to pay these shitheads to get involved with they chillins lives? Whats next? Paying them to NOT break the law?
The jibjab video deserves repeating:

How many of these "gift cards" will end being bought by Muhammads food and liguor for $10? Will there be a system to track the cards and who redeems them?
250k 4 brizzard to walk away , tax payer hard earned $$ wasted again by democRATS
Will we see any of these card in Mt Greenwood or Beverly??? Am I being discriminated against because I actually care about my kids and send them to school, and make sure they study and get good grades???? Y does't he suggest we follow Florida,Kentucky and Missouri and drug test people on welfare??? Once again our crooked thieving politicians are making us the laughing stock of the country.....but hey once they get our pensions all the problems will be solved.....
"incentivizing responsible parenting?"
Ebonics at its finest.
These ideas center around the give to the morons who can't even take care of themselves. Wave enough bucks around to buy a nickel or so and they will come out of the rat holes they inhabit. rham is an asshole . . . .Drag us down some more with our own money you vampire looking baggy eyed bitch.
Just a suggestion on how these gift cards should be handed out.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMjqlVcLCmg
So lets get this staright; Rahm pays $25 to get a parent to pick up a report card and then pays $5,000 to a parent for a killed child but for me whom pays $ 3 k for private grammar and 10k for private H.S., taxes out the ass will get nothing( not even a pension) because Rahm says so. Why dont we pay for persons to hang out on corners, drink 40's and sell n smoke weed all day, but my bad we do all that already on the middle class' dime . More incentives for the more deserving...
Holy fucking shit. I can't tell if I'm still living in reality....this is crazy. Someone please help.
Signed former walgreens customer.
how about we lock up any parent that doesnt show up to pick up the damn report card - free cta rides that day so as not to be able to use that excuse- liberal fucks paying parents to be parents
“That’s what happens when I start swimming. I start coming up with ideas,” the mayor said.
<><><><><><><><><><>
Hopefully his next great idea occurs as a rip current prevents him from ever reaching land again.
Asshole.
2:37....
Walgreens already has the contract to perform Healthways "wellness" screenings for city employees except FOP members.
The gift card is a simple kickback to Emanuel.
Shop CVS.
Rahm needs to DQ his crazy idea.
teachers raise the kids , poleece discipline the kids and baby mama & baby daddy collect welfare checks
it's hard to believe a parent wouldn't make their kids breakfast and pack them a lunch
thing is most of these single parents never had that love and care growing up , they do not know any better
very dad . I feel bad for the kids
if the single parent can't care for the kids , feed , clothe & provide shelter , than it's time for government to step in . Remove children from home and place in a boarding school . Cut off all checks to the people.
what if i call on the phone,can you send it home with my kid.
must be snorting a lot
a while ago they wanted the parents to pay for a/c at eli whitney school
first they begging for $ now they giveing it away
nobody gives anything for free ther must a be "sweetheart" deal between walgreens and mayor sweetlips some one or some organization is putting this up
remeber the only time these guys give,.. if they are getting twice as much back
or like they said lots of licenses
so to breezes them thru they give some thing
Off Topic : what is the deal i heard about called the block experiment? it was mentioned on channel 7
A more effective way to get the parents involved is to charge them $25 taken out of their LINK card.
This could be expanded for other violations as well such as curfew, school absentee, etc...
Why are these cards being distributed only at SOME -- 70 -- public schools? Why not at ALL schools?
Is this RACISM?
Not like the CEO is taking it out of his personal fortune, either. Hypocrite. This is on the backs of Walgreen customers.
Please stop swimming, Mr. Mayor. We can't afford it.

$$$$$$$
So that explains how the mayor makes major decisions that effect the tax paying citizens of Chicago.
He consults with no one and executes harebrain ideas that come to him while swimming,running,dreaming,etc.
Talk about being delusional. Teachers just concluded a strike because of the mayors inability to negotiate a fare labor contract with mature adults. Now he has put himself in the picture as an advocate for the children.
Teachers and their supervisors are more knowledgeable then the mayor in this regard. Let them do their job mayor. God forbid that the mayor would ask the teachers or parents if this would be a good idea and how best to implement it.
Heh-heh..
$25 dollar tax on guns in Chicago == $25 retail gift certificates as a tax rebate for the thugs. Go figure!
Gun owners penalized and Walgreen's rewarded with more business. KEEP SHOOTING PEOPLE..er-ah I mean KEEP SHOPPING. ha. As Rahm and the politico's continue choosing the winners and losers.
Transferring the wealth, well you're looking at it.
How much do the Walgreen's retail gift certificates cost the city on a wholesale basis anyways and where does the rest of the money go?
If anyone thinks that Walgreen's has suddenly acquired some level or moral or social responsibility to the communities where it does business get your head examined. It's a corporation. Corporations are amoral. There's something the city is giving them back to create this illusion and you can bank on it.
Who's being incentive-ized and for what here?
If this jagoff expects taxpayers to fork over the $25 he's taken a few too many blows to the head!
" I Will pay you $15 cash for your $25 dollar Wallgreens gift cards"
What's wrong with that?

You are supposed to bundle newspapers and tie them with a prescribed knot, and scrupulously separate "PETE" from "PVC," squinting at the little markings on the bottoms of plastic jars -- while your Sanctuary City neighbors put out open pink plastic buckets of used motor oil, 1/2" from the top, and throw out whole cars a chunk at a time -- a whole engine jammed into a trash tote -- mixed with diapers, shoes, beer bottles, busted plastic toys, and #10 pozole cans.
Mommy, where do rats come from?
Yep, let's blame the teachers for the poor results they get from THESE kids. Too bad we teachers can't extort money from stores to bribe our kids into learning.
WHEN WILL WE SEE IT IS A SOCIETY PROBLEM?
I hope this finally convinces some of you to cross over and vote R this time.
And a word to those of you who've been told the GOPs say racist things: it never occurred to you that that's another lie? You want to know who it is that tears down any person of color who dares to run as a conservative--it's not the right, I can tell you that. Look up Mia Love, who I hope will be the first black female Republican elected to the House.
hay remeber when carol lewis said mayor sweetlips threw he f-bomb when they were argueing over how he didn't want to spend $ on the 25% that won't graduate?
then the school board asked for parents to pay of a/c for eli whitney school?
now he wants to throw $ at them to show up
TrueNews has the article too
it also implies "whites don't need to apply"
"I am transfering my prescriptions to C.V.S. or Target. Boycott Walgreen's."

Target seems to have serious problems -- you'll get a genuine screwball, an obviously disturbed young gal pharmacist, "supervising" tattooed, functionally-illiterate ghetto "pharmacy aides" who will read you something back three times and get it wrong each time. It takes almost nothing to get behind that counter into the goody shop these days -- I support constant random drug testing for these personnel.
Walgreens seems to have somewhat higher standards for the aides -- they seem to get weeded out faster.
Target is also in a sort of computerized 19th Century. Your prescriptions are handcuffed to one store; if you want to pick up somewhere else, the prescription must be laboriously "transferred." If you have something in the Walgreens computer, you can call for it and pick it up at any Walgreens, no problem.
--former Target customer who left in disgust.
Like with so many things, I sure wish things were better -- but this is the way they are, have to go with that.
Shame on Walgreens for playing into this scam. Won't step foot into a Walgreens again.
Didn't they offer cash or gift cards to kids not long ago to attend school (of course select schools in select hoods). The duumycrats way of continuing to dumb-down a certain socio-economic group and not demanding responsibility as a parent.
Makes me a) want to puke and b) switch to CVS.
Un FUCKING FREAKING UNREAL - believable.
--No Cop Here
Who is paying for these cards? Is this some sort of strong-arming Walgreens to "give back" for those health screenings city workers have to go to.? I smell a rat and his name is kickback. .... Or is this just a co-inky drink?
Mandatory health care screenings now at your local Walgreens for targeted city workers, now $25 gift cards from where?????walgreens of course. Makes you go hhhmmmmm.
Or ........
Are middle class city tax payers paying for this bribe to the baby mammals to pick up their own kids cards???? Why in't this offered across the board? Why is always free stuff to the generations of government leeches.?
Boycott walgreens
Will the cards be bi-lingual like everything else in the cps?
Just axin
Insane
Transferred prescrips. I will never shop Walgreens again. Hello CVS!
No money for police officers or teachers, but gift cards for these social ills. Bribe them to have concern over there kids progress at school.
Reminds me of the idiot principal I once worked for. She obligated teachers to buy a turkeys for the students for Thanksgiving. As soon as school let out they headed straight to Rothchild's to trade it in for bottles of booze.
I agree with the 1st post. $100 Bond cards
Enough of this Obamanation!
The Teacher
Why not turn it around and say - you MUST go up to school to pick up your kids' report card in order to activate your LINK card for the month.
That would be a better "incentive" and might save the taxpayers some money.
"Looky here. I gots to get to skool to get my free $h*t fo' da' monf'."
I DEMAND that I get the gift cards. My sons go to Edison Park and Northside Prep, so I qualify, right? I mean, it's my $5500 tax bill paying for these cards right? They are BOTH A students, raising the State test scores.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
It's not coming out of your taxes, it money from Walgreens. You will however pay for the cards in higher prices at Walgreens. So, now we pay for the schools, the transportation, the school breakfast lunch and in some cases dinner, the section 8 housing, the link card, the free cell phone, the extra police to patrol the violent schools, free Internet which WE pay for as a part of our cable bill, discounts on utilities, AND we now will pay to bribe the parent to do what they should do as part of raising kids. All they have to do is wait and/or complain about something and some governmental unit or corporation will provide free shit for them.
Man, what a city.
OT but I'm pissed SCC....need to vent on this.
Congratulations to the 20th District.
The Beat Cop that exclusively walks up and down Bryn Mawr during the 7am to 3pm shifts just got your whole district on the shit list.
Heard from a source at Revenue.....the Beat Cop actually threatened to start targeting Revenue Vehicles if they didn't stop writing tickets on "HIS Beat" cause he "NEEDS" the Parkers.
The word is that Revenue has now been authorized to Troll the Lot at all CPD Police Parking Lots for every damn thing that's wrong with the PO's vehicles...From Non-Compliant Plates/Plate Covers/Improper Display/Window Tint/Expired 2 month Special Event Plates.
And is that the Boot Vans are now going to be trolling the lots as well now. And that if there is Any Vehicle in Police Parking Only Lots with No City Sticker...to Ticket it regardless of the registration check...since it is City Employee Only Parking.
Thanks assholes...way to ruin the gentleman's agreement we had with them that kept them out of our parking lots.
To 2:26 pm.
I almost never copy and paste links, but I watched that one and it had me pissing my pants laughing! I could see it now in classrooms and auditoriums city wide!
The paper the next day would read, "They still kept coming up to the front of the line holding out their hands, one gentleman offered to kick his own ass for a gift card."

So do Ghetto Rats !!!
Since when do "human beings" have to be bribed to take interest in their childrens education & well being ?
Put down the 40 ozer & crack pipe/blunts. for at least a few hours so your kids don't turn out like you !!
This is an easy one...I will never shop at Walgreens again! CVS here I come.
To answer 856pm's comment,
Gift cards not coming from tax dollars, but job creating oportunists that benefit from tax dollars! Republicans(private business) benefit from tax dollar contracts too! Wellness contract, Maybe obama was right. They didn't get it on their own, they needed (someone) to help. Keep people poor, the rich have causes to donate to. Politicians all suck. Blue or red, same bullshit! Still don't get some of you guys...
And how the fk are they going to prove that they are the kid's parent or guardian? Noone's got any ID.
I think I'm just gonna stop a few kids, get their names, and be their baby's momma on report card day.
And when baby's parent/guardian does not show up to pick up report card and pass go and collect $25, whats gonna happen to that uncollected gift card? I say give it to the teacher for putting up with this shit.
yea, this is gonna work out real good.
What happened to teach a man to fish?
Considering what Walgreens does for CPD/Cfd they will always get my business.
How much should we pay them to take care of their kids? Or help them with their homework, or any of the normal parenting that never happens in the ghetto. Is anyone paying attention in this country. Can't these democrats and liberals see how insane we are getting about the entitlement group? How much more insanity do we have to put up with just so you idiot politicians can get the ghetto vote.
Rahm has been peeing too much in that pool. Wacko idea. Bribing, er paying, people to be "responsible parents". No responsible parent should accept payment from a government source for something that they are obliged to do.... Take care of your youngsters.
"Mandatory health care screenings now at your local Walgreens for targeted city workers, now $25 gift cards from where?????walgreens of course. Makes you go hhhmmmmm."
Coincidence!
(I can't stop laughing!)

CONTACT WALGREEN'S HEADQUARTERS and tell them you will take your business ELSEWHERE if they continue to make offers of this type...tell them to stop cooperating with socialist/marxist/communist rahm and his boss, oboma. Tell Walgreen's Headquarters that these sociaist nanny-state offers, perks to the generational and/or demo-Soccialist Party hacks who always have their hands out in return for the vote/illegal aliens of this disgusting "sanctuary city" must STOP, or you wil take your business ELSEWHERE. Remember what Chicago tried to do to the Chik-fil-Lay restaurants in Chicago, and how the public turned out in a big way to SUPPORT Chik-fil-Lay in their fight for freedom of speach, and they WON. Walgreen Headquarters will not want the adverse publicity and loss of business, and may be swayed to bow out. Here's an opportunity to show what power you have...email, call Walgreen Headquarters, google them for the phone # and email link, and TELL THEM to bow out of rahm's socialist plan, or YOU WILL TAKE YOUR BUSINESS ELSEWHERE AND WILL TELL OTHERS.
Hit em' where it hurts.
Each Reward Card has a number that can be tracked.
I wonder if Walgreens will compile a list of the items purchased?
Let's go one step further and see how many of these cards are inventoried as prisoners property from the local dealers. Now THAT would be some priceless advertising for Walgreens!

Yep, now we need to keep up our responsibilities just like the average Joe !
Along with those gift cards should be a name check, utility bill check and a dead beat parent check. Sort of a hot potato game with the free $$ until we get tired of taking from Peter to pay a pul and ending where we all started with ,,, nothing. How bout a class action law suit from the north siders whom will never see a gift card due to being over greedy.

he was joking with the guy, just messing with him and he knew it and if he did not he needs to get a sense of humor. lighten up nobody wants a war with revenue
My incentive for good parenting: seeing the end result of kids who grew up to be respectful, kind, law-abiding, police-respecting, hard-working citizens who value education and learning (they are not one and the same). I just wish the "gimmes" weren't the direct recipients of their hard work.
So if my kid goes to a school that isn't in 007 or 011, can I pick up $25?
10/31/2012 12:21:00 AM
Probably not
Listen hear you little dirty motherfucker of a mayor, stop rewarding this useless fucks we call CPS students and their ignorant as hell dna donors you call "parents". My wife and I work full time to put our children thru private schools. Where is my gift cards asshole? yea just what I thought. Honestly I don't need nor want these cards. I have my own incentives to educate my children, because I LOVE them. Enough said.
Vote with your feet--and refuse to pay into ‘redistribution’ programs.
Shop at CVS instead.
Switch from Comcast to another provider.

I swim at the same pool as Rahm. He and his son come in and take up two lanes at 6 am, when the pool is reserved for a team workout, forcing the other 15 swimmers into the other lanes. His driver sits in the parking lot with the engine running. So much for green.
