Shareholder meetings come with all sort of measures proposed by people you've never heard of: many of the proposals may sound good on paper but usually short on specifics. They usually comes with a statement saying something like "The board advises against this measure."

Without further specifics, it's unclear what the measure was about. For all I know it could have been a thinly-veiled attempt at corporate power. And starting the article with "The billionaire also offered a full-throated defense of the oil and gas industry." doesn't really help with credibility.
