Line 224:
Chicago's mayor, [[Richard M. Daley]] created the "[[Graffiti Blasters]]" to eliminate graffiti and gang-related vandalism. The bureau advertises free cleanup within 24 hours of a phone call. The bureau uses paints (common to the city's 'color scheme') and baking-soda based solvents to remove some varieties of graffiti.<ref name="kcb">{{cite web|url=http://www.kcb.org/kcb_cleanups.html|title=Clean Ups and Graffiti Removal}}</ref>
In 1992, an ordinance was passed in Chicago that bans the sale and possession of spray paint, and certain types of etching equipment and markers.<ref name="kcb"/> The law falls under Chapter 8-4: Public Peace & Welfare, Section 100: Vagrancy. The specific law (8-4-130) makes graffiti an offense that surpasses public drunkenness, peddling, or disruption of a religious service punitively with a fine of no less than $500 per incident
