Next to Toyota, Ford makes the best PU trucks on the road.
I was thrilled to send my city sticker check to a suburb for processing.
And did we get our state license plate contract back into Illinois yet?
Is that a Missouri plate? No city sticker.
A pick-up truck?
What unit is that from, the Redneck Undercover unit?
Hmmmmm.. Sgt. Larry the Cable Guy's ride. OK, I get it.
Ha what the hell?! Ahhh the chicago way.
I did a Traffic crash report for the water dept and the truck had out of states plates. The driver told me they rent the vehicles for $2500 a month!
OT: 012 district PO's screw up street cleaning enforcement yesterday.

Of course the City can't lease a local vehicle. Taxes, registration fees and vehicle stickers makes it cost prohibitive.
The plates that are on the truck are part of the lease package and it would be a lot of money and red tape to re-plate with an M-plate. Maybe this was lease company was a campaign contributor or just maybe had the best lease deal.
There would be nothing wrong with the CPD having one or more heavy duty pick-up trucks. Think about how many bodies you could pile up in there during a busy weekend.
Vanecko Ford of Duluth?
If I'm not mistaken isn't there an ordinance violation to the effect of even leased vehicles operated in this fine metropolis are subject to registration in said fair city so said city can suck more revenue? I believe the only exemption is rental agency vehicles because they suck the blood, I mean collect the taxes of each renter.
Can't make out the plate, even larger?
Was that a Minnesota plate? Al Franken has to be happy. He and Rahm are going to exchange wet willies the next time they see each other.
We have Forc dealers inside the city of Chicago, we have Chevy dealers dodge dealers also inside city limits who would love to have the city business as they stay here pay the high taxes why not let them reap some rewards? Why do we use dealers outside the city at all? Thought rahms wanted to bring jobs into the city? Guess whoever has the most connections and gives back to the elected like Barbara Bennett did with cps to the tune of over 20 million of our money!
Total joke. Does it need a city sticker?
America
No city sticker needed...and no truck plate so it can drive on any street in Chicago and park anywhere leagly
exactly part of the problem !
That truck is from Wisconsin!
I have seen Chicago Park District trucks with Michigan plates on them as well that come back to some leasing company. All in the name of savings and efficiencies I'm sure.
Rhammy imports out of state vehicles and political hacks who are under Investigation from the state in which they came from... Mcstreetlight is still being looked at by N.Y. and New Jersey......that money growth guy from Ohio....leader of schools from California....now this goof. Yet he says he is courting jobs from Indiana. That truck should be confiscated .....because chicago police vehicles are domicile in this city and should have Illinois plates and a. Chicago sticker......rhammy .....oh rhammy

Chicago has been leasing vehicles for a long time. Every once in a while, someone goes to jail. But for the most part its a money grab on the part of the mayors office.
They cut the number of vehicles they purchase, then on another budget line, they lease vehicles and wind up paying more money. Several POs tried once to show the city how to save money on new vehicles, but you guessed it, they were told to shut up or else!
And Why in the Hell does it have a Boss Snow Plow Mount?
That truck has a Minnesota plate and is assigned to the Michigan Ave. foot men to get them from the station to the Avenue. If I had to guess, I'd say they've had it for a year, year and a half.
Yet, this asshole city managers expects us to follow the rules, buy expensive ass city stickers and pay high ass sales taxes!
This City and State is just fucked up and can't wait to move out of here!
49 other states are better than Illinois and I don't even want to get into the towns that are better than Chicago!
WTF....really that is all I can say, WTF!
Thomas Paine (1) said “These are the time which try men’s souls” I find that these are very trying times now for all working men and women. We have reached a time when the politicians who have not discharged their fiduciary duty wish to lay the blame for the current financial crisis on those who have supported and contributed to the pension system while they have failed to do their part.
We have a governor of our state who is now using the Bankruptcy possibility and he seems to actually be promoting the idea to evade funding the pensions. Perhaps it is how our Governor as a business man has learned how to deal with financial issues, walk away and leave the workers holding the bag but this is a matter of moral obligation.
If I chose not to pay my mortgage then the bank will take my home, If I fail to pay my property tax then the county will take my home. I meet my financial obligations most citizens do. The city and state have an obligation, they always call it a crisis, and never what it is AN OBLIGATION to the workers and pensioners of our community. Robert Service (2) wrote “a promise made is a debt unpaid” our pensions are a promise made to us and a debt for the city and state. We want, we demand no more but no less from the city and state.
People who have a fiduciary duty are required by law to act in the best interest of the client “When one person does agree to act for another in a fiduciary relationship, the law forbids the fiduciary from acting in any manner adverse or contrary to the interests of the client, or from acting for his own benefit in relation to the subject matter. The client is entitled to the best efforts of the fiduciary on his behalf and the fiduciary must exercise all of the skill, care and diligence at his disposal when acting on behalf of the client. A person acting in a fiduciary capacity is held to a high standard of honesty and full disclosure in regard to the client and must not obtain a personal benefit at the expense of the client “ (3)
Should not our politicians be held legally civil and/or criminally responsible for what they term a crisis? The former and current Mayor and all former and current aldermen/alderwomen should be charged criminally have they not gained from the mess they have made at our expense? Anita and Lisa if you care about political corruption charge the current and former Mayor and alderpersons , have they not gained at our expense? Yes political contribution could be considered graft if the Mayor and alderpersons approved any actions which were against the best financial interest of those they are supposed to protect. What about the parking meters deals, Sky way deal and how many others. What about the failure to properly fund the pensions while spending on many unnecessary things, we all could name a dozen.
Bring those parties into court civil or criminal and you will greatly advance the cause of honest government.

$2500 a month? that truck cost new about $40,000 stripped pick up truck, where does our money go? how about an investigative news team? rahm said when running for election that on the redline project many city residents were used, they why the out of state plates many from Indiana? why are so many cta iron workers making over $200,000 per year working on the CTA (Chicago transit authority) train tracks, all living in Indiana, why are they not required to live in the city you know like the other city workers who make their money from the backs of Chicago taxpayers?
alderman brookins you keep after the police how about you do something to keep money here? like use Chicago dealers for vehicles,and employ residents "give a man a good job watch crime plummet" you live in Indiana no problem you could work there! Oh wait Indiana is state that pays small wages!!

Vanecko Ford of Duluth?

Hey dude, enough with the Vanecko crap already. Don't you have something better?
That's a Minnesota plate.

Possible a dealer in Chicago couldn't get enough lease vehicles and brought some in from out of state dealerships?
Shrug all I got.
Last week I saw a cook county sheriff Vehicle used for traffic enforcement on 47th street driving west bound with a tinted cover over the rear plate.
HHHHMMMMMM,
Correct me if I am wrong but I do believe it is a state violation to have a tinted screen over any plate.
But, this is lord Tommy Darts cars and he can do anything he wants.
just ask him
vehicle # was 8636
GE Fleet leasing is out of Eden Prairie, MN. And I'm pretty sure they still have CPD, Park District and possibly Streets and Sanitation as a client.
Depending on where/what dealer is used, what upfitting is done (basically how much weight and value is added to the truck is added to the truck) and whether or not the leasing company (GE) has a dealer license in IL, it is very common that vehicles are delivered with out of state plates until the title and licensing is squred away. The other option is to ship the vehicle, which costs additional money.
The city is a tax exempt govenment entity, but if the lessor (GE) does not have a dealer license in the state of the delivery, they basically have to pay all federal and state taxes and the paperwork is a PIA.
In general though, licensing after upfitting can take anywhere from a few weeks to a month, so the MN plates are pretty common.
So basically, it does have MN plates and its pretty common.
City sticker needed for any vehicle driven/operated in the city of Chicago, and for the same reason, needs an Illinois license plate. If I see them, I will write them.

Maybe the city doesn't patronize city or state dealers because the taxes are too high.
Hoisted by their own petard comes to mind.
That particular truck has been bothering me for a while now. I see it all the time in the parking lot of the 18th district. The only people who use it are the people assigned to foot posts who take it out to drop themselves off on Michigan Avenue. I cannot understand why it has out of state license plates.
There is always a connection between the company and a Chicago politician. It's owned by someone's nephew, cousins, or spouse, and certainly three times the cost of a conventional purchase. It's the Chicago way.
(OT) national guard patrolling California streets coming to Chirac soon? Maybe just maybe spike lee that moron knows something, could that be why he wants to film here?

Incorrect.
They either HAVE to have the Municipal Sticker or a City Sticker. Period. Garaged/Kept/Stored within City Limits for more than 30 days.
Trust me....
For that matter, do any of the vehicles on CHICAGO P.D. or CHICAGO FIRE have City of Chicago Vehicle Tags.
Just askin'n.
Thought the previous city clerk kizumbowski had law changed to "city wheel tax( sticker) to be displayed all vehicles owned by city residents, also on vehicles garaged of parked primarily in the city of Chicago" guess they could not stick a M plate on it? More stupidity more money thrown away way away from car dealers that stay in the city pay the high taxes payoff the elected or do the city car dealers not. " donate " enough?

Guy on a bike, I hope you get his by a bus. Then maybe we'll have a street sweeper come scrape you off the ground.
it's become even too expensive for the government to register vehicles in this city/state thru a contractor. because the contractor would have to charge even more to comply.
That's the goofs in charge at 2fm.
Reynolds
Chapulis
All fleet managers
Minnesota plate.
Rear and Front required. Since it's not a Muni Police plate, how long until it gets a ticket from CPM or Ser Co?
Listen up city peeps....if you see any city truck that has the letter "R" on the door after the numbers its a rental!!
The Plates are from Minnesota, The truck is used at 018.

Apparently the cop is known to go nuts on that beat on street sweeping day. He ticketed vehicles for street sweeping to occur on the second Wednesday of the month, but it was the third. The other side of the street was the second Tuesday and he hit them hard, too, but at least he had the day right.
One of the people who got ticketed posted his star #. I thought that was unnecessary.

Nice to see you too sweetie.
We get blamed for Saturday and Sunday tickets. I have watched 24 and 20 district PO's go into vapolock because we got to the Street Cleaning first.
I've seen posts here from "cops" that berate us and threaten us with a "long Form" if we even slightly violate a traffic law, all the while they same PO will drive by a Beer Truck in a bike lane.
Reading comprehension is a Key Factor to doing My Job Correctly. and to a degree SCC agreed with me enough to post my comment. I linked and article, didn't out a cops name or badge number. And remained relatively civil.
But you went there. so okay, I'll lower myself to your level for a second.

FYI. The City of Chicago is a taxing body. As such they are EXEMPT from sales tax. It doesn't matter where they buy their vehicles, they don't pay sales tax so that has no effect on their purchase cost. I don't know why they buy from an outfit that is Minnesota based, but taxes are NOT the reason.
Minnesota plate
Wait, what??
Probably stolen off a tourist's car.
OT:
Speaking of that Guy on a Bike...
Saw the dude in City Hall yesterday. Seems like the dude now has an Office inside the building.
WTF?!?
its registered in Minnesota, but its a national company so plate is irrelevant

They found a place not familiar with City of Chicago non-payment methods. They got the fools to finance the fleet. Now wait for payment. If you are selling to the city and are not a clout company you will sit and wait for your money. That's the first and last time that company sells to the City of Deadbeats
