So I was wondering how "As You Sow" makes money if this is extortion (as claimed in the article), and found this: http://www.asyousow.org/about-us/grantmaking/guidelines/ http://www.asyousow.org/about-us/grantmaking/guidelines/ As You Sow’s grantmaking program is funded by settlements from our enforcement of California’s Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act (Proposition 65). Can somebody explain to me how a non-governmental non-profit can go about enforcing a state law and getting paid for it? Do they basically sue random companies and extract "donations" in exchange for going away?
