After being arrested at last year's #BerkshireHathaway annual meeting, NLPC's Peter Flaherty is on this year's agenda again — will @WarrenBuffett let him finish his speech this time? #WarrenBuffett #Omaha #investing #shareholders pic.twitter.com/tXFTapd6LF

National Legal and Policy Center Chairman Peter Flaherty will return to the same stage at the Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting where last year, while presenting NLPC’s shareholder proposal, Warren Buffett cut off his speech and Flaherty was arrested. Trumped-up charges against Flaherty were later dropped.
NLPC has another proposal on Berkshire’s 2024 proxy statement and Flaherty is scheduled to speak on the measure for an allotted five minutes. The nonprofit corporate watchdog released a short video (watch above) that briefly recounts last year’s incident and points out Mr. Buffett’s contradictory positions on how he manages shareholder meetings.
