City Sticker Contest Gone
- City Clerk Susana Mendoza’s plan to shift to year-round sales of Chicago vehicle stickers will eliminate a political headache for the freshman clerk: the annual sticker design contest that became embroiled in a gang controversy.
“There will be no more contest because we’re moving to year-round sales. The sticker will look completely different. It was designed with enforcement in mind, so it’s easy to see when it expires,” Mendoza said Tuesday.
The annual design contest was the “outgrowth of seasonal sales,” the clerk said. Year-round stickers required a no-nonsense design, she said.
The paper mentions Herbie, but neglects to mention his two or three arrests in the ensuing year, mostly in hot cars, and the notation in arrest reports of gang affiliation - self-admitted gang affiliation. But that would reopen uncomfortable questions.

Why don't we just eliminate the city sticker completely?
That will solve the entire problem!
Score another win for the gang intimidation.
Susana Mendoza is protecting her political future. She will be the chosen latina to run for mayor at some point in the future. Eddie the slimeball Burke is grooming her.
Sounds like the city didn't want to get more egg on their face. I also suspect they are more interested in designing a sticker to ensure that the expiration date can be seen in the hopes they will generate revenue. Ridiculous in my opinion.
What's the line on ol' Herb Dilla? Dead by the end of the year? Not a rapper like chief queef or the 13yr old that was at the club where the seven people were later shot, but he's got the potential, and is getting the resumé to be a contender.
Awww come on, I worked all winter on my design with pitchforks, stars and backwards "K's" And now there is no contest! Story of my life. The one time I didn't show up for the sergeant's test it turned out to be a legit test. Who would have known? Same kind of shit here, no City Sticker contest! Damn it!
What's the scuttlebutt on herbdillas moms Facebook page?
Typical politician reinventing the wheel. If anyone is still around that remembers that the renewal of the stickers was moved to a warmer month because it was next to impossible to heat up you or your windshield to remove the old stickers and apply the new stickers during the cold Chicago winter months, when they used to expire.
Now I wonder how much lower the enforcement will be when you have to actually read the expiration on the sticker and read the expiration on the plates of each vehicle? It was bad enough when they would use the same colors for the stickers every other year. You used to be able to tell an expired sticker just looking at them and than do a check.
Score one for Herbie and MLD's.
Chicago lost to the gangs. It was nice.
Hey Congressperson Luis Gutierrez, thanks for taking the side of a piece of shit. You both smell the same.
How about no city sticker then no one will have to hassle with the bullshit.While wer're on it how about one plate like most states, most cars come with no place to mount a front plate.
True Susie was going to get the nod for Secretary of State when old Jesse steps away,but now she is wasting huge amounts of money expanding the city clerks office so she can keep her hdo type secret group inside ready for her to be mayor! Thanks to. Ray frias who gave her the start viva Rey !
I know police have more important things to do than enforce permit parking in residential areas, anyone who lives on these blocks knows what I'm talking about. we pay $25 more than usual for a permit which is part of our city sticker. if you have visitors to your home you give them a temp. permit for the windshield. too bad we chumps who pay our taxes don't get any enforcement on the people who ignore this permit. I don't care if the police don't enforce this, I was cpd for 30 yrs. and I know how busy the beat guys are. but what about the meter maids on bikes or the streets and san people...parking on my block by midway airport is a joke. park and walk to airport and go on vacation. come back in a week, no parking ticket....what fools we were to ask for permit parking.....
Mendoza is a moron.
I was talking to their PR person, Kristine Kappel.
The Staff think this is a bad idea because of how difficult it is going to be to implement and how it is going to screw up enforcement because right now, certain agencies do not get out of their squads to walk around the vehicle before they issue a ticket. Like in 41st ward over by O Hare...district cop ticketed a vehicle in the school zone by Foster and Delphia...and missed the Revenue Envelope that was on it already. Yea...it was my vehicle...and my fault for not moving it from the School Zone on time...but how lazy are you guys in 1614/13/12?
I hope it will do good, and not cause mass panic when they expire. This means all you poor welfare queens with your suvs and hummers can not complain when it is time to renew
A good thing is if we could buy a truly pro-rated or yearly sticker at anytime.
Not when you buy a car in December and have to buy a sticker for the full year from last June.
I've been pissed off by that many times besides the fact that they are way too costly.
Suzie Mendoza can't even direct selling city stickers once a year without fucking that up and havin jr. bangers draw up the design. Now the dumb thing wants city stickers due at the same time license plates are due. Many TAXPAYING seniors will find this hard to do with living on a budget. Another stupid fool with a brilliant idea. Fuck off asshole. Just a stupid thing. Clerk's job is the EASIEST in the city but Laski and this fool could fuck anything up. Where be Aldcreature Emma Mitts-another fool-to say something STUPID. These are peeps running this shithole? World class city? Play rev meeks' fat ass. HUH?
Lil Herbie had a tear drop tatooed next to his left eye when he heard the news. SOOOOOO sad!

She wants stickers paid 6 months after your license renewal.
Got"notting to do wit no gangs!"
"Hey Congressperson Luis Gutierrez, thanks for taking the side of a piece of shit. You both smell the same."
Ah yes, good old Luis Gutierrez. As I recall he had a nice long "resume" before he gave up one form of crime for another. A price of a mutt. Is this a great country or what?
NC
I ain't in no gang.

A Much simpler way to get city sticker revenue is this: in CA and CT (that I know for sure) the local vehicle tax is collected by the DMV when the plates are nenewed and a $5 service charge is taken by the DMV when they turn the $$ over to the municipality. I'm sure that $5 is much less than printing and distributing the stickers the current way.
It makes sense, but won't happen because somebody's brother in law printing company won't get the contract to print the stickers and the patronage army in the Clerk's office won't have a simple job.

Sorry, but most cars DO come with mounting available on the front. And, in a congested urban area, it's very helpful to the police to have two options of getting license plate information from a car.

And, remember: Luis, who is all for making illegals welcome here, REFUSES to help lifelong public employees and railroad retirees regain the social security benefits stolen from them by Rostenkowski.
Year round?!?
Wtf, how hard is it now? They all expire the same day!! Here's a real simple idea, change the colors every year like the state sticker and print the year in big numbers.
There I just save the city tons of money on printing. Done.
City sticker to expire along with your license plates in the future. Calling it a cost savings as there won't be a run on the clerk's office in June. Also they will go up every year with cost of inflation
Total scam
Major photo op for this miserable little adhesive nuisance. She's got it all blown up on an easel like it was the cure for cancer or something. "Designed with enforcement in mind," ain't that thrilling.
Don't do us any more favors...
Mendoza is failing to realize that staggered renewals will mean that a third of Chicagoans will be out in the shitty winter months scraping stickers off the car.
Stupid idea and more reinventing the wheel. Renewals were moved from January to June years ago so people didn't have to remove the stickers in the crappy winter weather.
Mendoza is a moron.

Lets see...the enforcement people do their job. You by your admission don't move the car...and THEY are lazy? Look in the mirror jackass.
Herbie Sr just got locked up again...!
