Inside Tucson Business - Recently, environmental writer Ted Williams had a commentary in the Tucson Weekly about how the Center for Biological Diversity generates lots of legal fees from suing the federal government. Williams' take: By harassing the feds to make a profit, the Center for Biological Diversity makes environmentalists look bad. He wrote that in 2009, the Center for Biological Diversity reported income of $1,173,517 in "legal settlement."
