WASHINGTON, D.C., June 27, 2012 - The Center for Biological Diversity today sent a letter to House Natural Resources Committee Chairman Doc Hastings claiming their organization had only received $553,000 in taxpayer funds resulting from Endangered Species Act (ESA) related attorney fees and court cases. This claim conflicts with data obtained from the Department of Justice (DOJ), which shows over $2 million in taxpayer dollars have been paid out to the Center for Biological Diversity and their attorneys for cases open between 2009-2012.

Funny how facts are important to them, when it comes to accounting....but not so much when real science is involved.

If they are a 501.c(3), they would have to claim that income on their 990's they file with the IRS every year.
Could be interesting to go review those and do some math!
