Financial Transparency
Where do our dues go?
Members deserve more than public summaries. When LM‑2 reports raise questions about salaries, disbursements, legal expenses, lease commitments, and other spending, members should be able to review the underlying records and ask informed questions.
Key Numbers
What stands out?
These figures come from the financial snapshots members are reviewing. They are starting points for questions, not substitutes for the supporting records.
- $1.18M dues collected
- $1.13M total disbursements
- $470.92K total gross salary
- $34,696 Dora Jimenez total reported disbursements
Inspection Rights Concern
Public reports are not the same as underlying records.
According to the member statement and charges, Chrissy Sheppard‑Arnold says she was denied agreed‑upon access on April 22, 2026 to inspect financial records regarding officer disbursements and non‑officer Dora Jimenez salary disbursements reported on the LM‑2 for 10/01/2024–09/30/2025.
“I was told I only had the right to review LM‑2 reports and that if I wanted to see the underlying records I would have to sue in federal court.”— Chrissy Sheppard‑Arnold statement excerpt
The concern: if the public LM‑2 filing creates questions, meaningful oversight requires access to supporting records such as invoices, vouchers, check registers, receipts, payroll support, contracts, and authorization documents.
