New documents show the Chicago Teachers Union has a “recording studio” 1,000 miles away in New Mexico
Images from Zillow show the property has a pool and looks like a vacation rental
The money laundering never stops
“Can anybody tell me why the Chicago Teachers Union needs a recording studio in New Mexico? In new documents, they spent $173,000 at 265 Sunset Road in Albuquerque.
Their accounting describes it as a recording studio, Zillow shows it also has a pool.
CTU described the payment as part of representational activities which legally must be associated with the negotiation administration and enforcement of collective bargaining agreements. With an audit, CTU might be able to explain how a recording studio a thousand miles away helps them with that, but they haven't released one of those in 5 years.“
I looked more into this, even Illinois authorities found this suspicious
The Illinois Policy Institute highlighted this as questionable spending, noting the lack of any detailed explanation in the federal filing and the pool’s visibility on real estate sites
CTU has not released its required annual audits to members since 2019 despite bylaws mandating it
In the same period, CTU ramped up political spending significantly, with leadership compensation
Sounds like people are being paid off
It’s money laundering and fraud
