Amazon Votes No on Political Transparency
That place that sells e-books and deodorant bulk packs just held its annual shareholder meeting. There was only one proposal. It did not pass:
That didn't lead to the issues disappearing altogether, though. In this year's annual meeting, a shareholder activist group called Investor Voice offered a shareholder proposal calling on Amazon to release a semiannual report that discloses its policies and procedures for making political contributions. That proposal lost, garnering 23.6 percent of the shareholder vote.
CNET also notes "[Amazon CEO Jeff] Bezos faced a few critical questions from shareholders, predominantly regarding the sale of violent movies and video games." Not exactly a tough crowd today.
