The state level incorporation, is for tax purposes. 

As for limiting financial liability from a law suit, that would be a
question for the Corporate legal dept.

Again, new guy is confused (not the first time, won't be the last). I
thought the purpose of the incorporation was to separate the various
entities of the SCA and thus limit financial liability.

Based on my experience with other non-SCA groups this is how the model
usually works. I'm uncomfortable with corporate having access to local
funds.
