Why is it only New York State that is going after the compensation of these guys?

Is non-profit status monitored at the state level or federal level?

I have zero expertise here, but I'd expect both due to taxes. IRS most likely, which is federal, but states also have their tax interests.

I'm amused at "card carrying member" defense. They give that shit out like candy. I'm adamantly anti gun, yet somewhere I have NRA badges and awards for hitting a target with a busted up rifle at summer camp.

No, I'm not a card carrying member, but I'm sure they have my name somewhere.

Actually, I'm amused whenever "card carrying member" is invoked. Yeah, I've pledged $10 to pbs and npr which gets you cards. Now, this guy, yeah, he's a whole lot more than that. So why should he reduce it to what anyone can get for about a starbucks coffee.

This is true, I forgot about that. NY would definitely want their share for such a large organization trying to justify their private jets as part of their non-profit status.
