Walking past the cleaning supplies in the front of Crystal Lake’s Menards, I noticed a new sign on the shelf.
This sign is attached to the cleaning supply shelf at Menards. It was inspired by a bill that Democratic State Rep. Jack Franks sponsored.
Here’s what it says,
ATTENTION MENARDS GUESTS
Due to state law (720ILCS 5/12-38)
certain sales of caustic/corrosive
materials require all guests to
provide valid government issued ID
and complete a documentation log at
the checkouts prior to purchasing.

Another splendid idea from “Chainsaw Jack.”
I wonder how much it has cost retailers in legal, printing and installation time.
Oh, I almost forgot. Lawyer-legislators regularly create business for members of their profession.
Shakespeare was right about lawyers.
Menards did “card” me a couple of months ago.
I made sure everyone waiting in line behind me knew McHenry County’s Jack Franks made up this new law.
It’s easier to buy beer than keep your toilet bowl clean.
Truth – with Obama care it is only going to get worse.
WILL NOT KNOW WHAT IS IN IT UNTIL IT IS PASSED.
Watch out for that fingernail polish, ladies.
Could be causing problems.
Muriatic Acid also known as hydrocloric acid has long been used by goons that vandalize construction equipment. It is typically found in pool chemicals and has and can be poured down the vertical stack of a dozer or excavator.
The economic impact is that for years this chemical was used in connection with extortive tactics in the construction industry and jack Frank’s support for the legislation was the right thing to do.
jack may be a democrate in this highly republican area, but if you look at this measure objectively without casting the quips at Jack, you will see that this resolves a serious problem and prevents the left redistributors of wealth from the self-help of vandalism.
As difficult as this law may seem to be, there are pleanty of reasons behind it that support its implementation.
I think that if there was a law that is overboard its the overthecounter regulation of cold medicine.
The Meth makers do not use the little packets to make a batch of meth.
Rather they target farms and other sources.

Gosh… I assume you’re saying any liquid, such as water could be poured down also – should we ban that too?
And Jack just loves those construction union campaign contributions!
Back on January 31, 2012 Rep. Kent Gaffney introduced HB 4523 to address concerns raised by the log requirements.
The bill passed out of the House unanimously and is on third reading in the Senate…if it gets signed into law, you won’t have to fill out a log anymore to buy Drano.
