Kyle Olsen takes an in-depth look at union disclosure forms for the Illinois Teacher's union and finds why the union bosses hate to disclose their spending orgy to union members. The Illinois Education Association is reeling from a very bad 2009-2010 fiscal year, caused in no small part by the union’s exorbitant expenditures on parties, meetings and salaries, Education Action Group recently found.

A number of factors apparently contributed to the union’s sudden financial plunge. It’s pension liability for its employees skyrocketed over the past year, from $8.2 million in 2009 to $26.6 million in 2010. But the report also reveals that IEA officials spent freely on salaries and benefits for high-ranking staff members, as well as social events the union hosted in Chicago, San Diego and New Orleans.
