SW: →IRS Form 990 curiosities: minor, added SPPI likely shell
Its IRS filings are intriguing.
==IRS Form 990 curiosities==
The Center's 2009 IRS 990 reports paying $187,500 to [[Robert E. Ferguson]] of [[Science and Public Policy Institute | SPPI]], plus a $60k bonus, for a total of $247,500. The circumstances surrounding this payment remain unclear.<ref>When asked about this payment from the Center several days ago, Ferguson couldn't explain it, & got off the phone saying he'd look into it and call back. Subsequent attempts to speak with him have not been successful.</ref>([[SPPI]] appears to be a shell company...)
It also reports $345,791 for "Contract labor".<ref name=qs-craig>On Thursday 2011-03-31, Sherwood Idso told me to direct my Form 990 questions to Craig Idso; attempts to reach Craig Idso to ask them have not yet been successful.</ref>
